ArtK78 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 4♥. And if that does not end the auction, I double at my next opportunity - to inform my partner that I bid 4♥ to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fromageGB Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm not too happy with all these 4H then double bids. Surely there will be hands where 3NT by p is the only making game, and others where 5D makes their way after your double. What is to be lost by bidding 1H first, and seeing if partner bids 1NT? If 1H gets passed out then 4 may well go off, and if not then there is nothing to stop you bidding further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 NeitherI would overcall 1♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Agree with 4♥ then double. The 1♥ overcall would be my second choice (ahead of double), but bidding only 1♥ allows LHO to bid spades at the one level, or support diamonds at the 2 or 3 levels. Better to take all that room away from them, and pay off to the occasions when 3NT makes but 4♥ does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 1♥. 4♥ ok but I am not quite sure if I can double 4♠ or 5♦ next round. Would still bid 4♥ at other vulnerabilities though. Dbl is silly IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcLight Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm not too happy with all these 4H then double bids.

If 1H gets passed out then 4 may well go off, and if not then there is nothing to stop you bidding further. If you pass, it would not be unexpected to hear LHO bid 1♠. They can then out bid your hearts. If you bid 4♥ it takes very little from pard to make- king of clubs- spade or diamond ace- diamond king with LHO holding the Ace- heart jack, (or heart 9 and enough length that the J drops and you have more trumps) allowing you to take a club finesse and then ruff the thrid round This is not asking for much, even if there are only 10-13 HCP in the remaining 2 hands.

Codo Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Only in this vul. I can accept a 4 Heart call, but as we are vul against not, this is a good hand for a 4 Heart bid. And I will pass next round. How can I beat 4 Spade or 5 Diamond when my pd is silent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I hate it 4H, especially when my opponents bid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
