matchpoints- your bid


Recommended Posts

I would X, I have too much defense to let it go all pass.

I agree with this. It's not a forcing pass.

While I certainly agree that it's not a forcing pass, I don't think I have more defense than partner has a right to expect for a first hand opener. Partner would have to have a pretty awful hand to pass 5, IMO. And if it's that awful, we lost 50 points by not Xing. Woo.

 

My problem is that I really don't need much to make 5, and the way I play the X is a unilateral decision...a "For God's sake, don't bid 5" bid. If the X were a "do something smart, P" X, then I'd agree with it. Maybe you guys play it that way.

Ty all for your answers.

 

The opponents said that is a good result for them because we could make 5s which was true however I do not see how we could get there.

On any lead you should have had 1 spade, 3 hearts and 2 clubs for +800 against 5Dx.

 

Edit: Ha! Two people beat me to it all in the same minute
