655321 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Double. Hopefully we play this as penalty since all suits have been bid. I don't expect to have an 8 card spade fit very often, also don't expect to be bidding a game. If they make 2♣X (and I don't think they will) it is no disaster. On the other hand 500 against a partscore is quite possible. The problem might come if LHO corrects to 2♥ and partner doubles. I plan to pass 2♥X - partner, after all, should have 4 hearts to double.

Guest Jlall Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I'd just pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Did I show 5 spades with around 9 HCPS with my first bid? In my partnership I had and I have nothing to add, no particular shape, no extra trump, no great clubs, so easy pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 RHO is bidding red vs white, I don't think we will get 500. In fact, I don't see why we should be beating this at all. Give partner Ax Axx KQJxx xxx (extras with defense) and they are making with an overtrick if RHO is 5-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I pass. If partner has some hands with five diamonds he might balance 2♦ (cherdano example type hand, though that is 1NT opener), otherwise I have nothing to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 X Double for me would be of the balance of power variety, claiming the hand with no clear direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Pass. RHO bid at unfavorable, and I have very few values in either of his suits. This might go down 1, but I would be very surprised to collect 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromageGB Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Someone has to argue the case for 2♦! I choose this bid because I've already shown the spades and partner is short, so he has a good chance of 5 diamonds. 2♣ may be making, and 2♦ is either making or a good save. I can't expect partner to reopen them on a 5 card suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Pass, since I haven't got anything particular to tell now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
