ArtK78 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Far from a WTP. Quite frankly, it is a major headache of a problem. I would bid 5D. I assume that this is IMPs. Passing could be a huge disaster - possibly them making game as opposed to us making slam. But bidding could be almost as big a disaster if it turns a plus into a minus.

OleBerg Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Pass. Not a "wtp?" It is called "take-out" double, because you should take it out. Here, however, there are so many indications that it might be wrong. Sometimes pass will get you to look real silly, when partner has his 4-1-4-4. And pass will never make you look good. Still, I belive pass is the winner in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 5♦ for me. Perhaps this is naive, but I have always learned that when partner makes a takeout double and I have no trump tricks in the opponents suit and six cards in one of the unbid suits, I should take it out.

mikeh Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 1) if you judge we may give up an easy double game swing....then 5d2) if you judge other than pass.how does this post advance our understanding of the issue, and the 'best' position to take?

Guest Jlall Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Partner had AT9xx x AJT ATxx. I passed and got down one, teammates defended 3S down 1 when they didn't open 2H. My opps (Joe and Curtis) thought it was a wtp pass and made fun of me a little for tanking :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
