jdeegan Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 [hv=d=e&v=b&s=sq6h63dakq986ckj7]133|100|Scoring: IMP1H-2D-2H-2S3H-?[/hv]Playing IMP pairs with a presumably competent, but unknown partner. Opponents are similarly unknown. RHO deals and opens 1 Heart. You overcall 2 Diamonds. LHO raises to 2 Hearts. Partner, not a passed hand, bids 2 Spades. Opener contests with 3 Hearts. Now what? 3 Spades is an option that was left off the menu. If you select that, check Other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Slightly surprised 3S isn't an option, because it's certainly worthy of consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I will double and listen. Classic "do the right thing" double. If double is takeout showing 2=1=6=4, I'm ready for a dirt nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I gotta bid something, I have a very nice hand. I will make a do-something-sensible dbl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I would make an ambiguous whatever-double. Passing cannot be right, and any bid seems too unilateral and doesn't describe my hand well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 If you pass, I doubt if there will be much to listen to. I'd double for takeout. That is also what I would do with a 2164. If partner bids 4♣, I'll convert it to 4♦, because with a moderate 5xx5 he would have doubled 2♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
