han Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 AJxAQx109xQ109x Patton (crossbreed between MP and IMPs), red against white, lefty deals. (2D*) - pass - (2H*) - pass(pass) - 2S - (pass) - ?? 2D was multi, either a weak 2 in a major or a strong hand, 2H was pass/correct. Your call?

Guest Jlall Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Pass? Sry to do it to you han but i gotta give this a wtp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 THis is certainly a wtp as long as you don't play with a partner who always passes on the first round 'to find out what the multi is based on'. This used to be quite a popular defence. It's a pretty stupid defence, but I can't help that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 No partner was a strong player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 If you don't play against a lot of multi, it takes a little effort to figure out what hands pard doesn't have when he makes a delayed 2♠ call. We can rule out: 1) some sort of balanced 13-15, 2) hands that would have overcalled 2♠ the 1st time. I'm guessing these are great 9-10 counts or better, 3) anything really strong. Armed with this, I expect perhaps an 8-11 with 5 only spades. Our ♥Q is probably worthless and other than the intermediates, there isn't a lot to write home about here. I suppose if I needed a swing, I might angle toward 3N, but lets not hang pard this one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I passed. Partner had K5432 KJx Ax Kxx and was not comfortable bidding 2S red against white the first time. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 He has to bid on the first round. Either 2S or whatever method shows a minimum balanced hand. If he wants to pass on these hands you will need to change your methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your pard has a clear x of 2 ♦ playing familiar methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable, but most play double includes 13-15 balanced so..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Why did he think it would be any safer on the second round of the auction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
