benlessard Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Easy pass. You are in imps, partner didnt double because he wanted 100 instead of 50. Either hes expecting -2 (playing you for 1 trick and having 3 sure trick in his hand)Or hes X to stop you from bidding 6H. I would have bid 5H on the first turn because the chance of buying the hand at 4H are so slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossoneri Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 X means he doesn't want you to bid on, and you have no good reason to, so just pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmunte1 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 6♥ has so many ways to win a bunch of IMP's instead of passing a cheap save Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 100% agree with the 4H bid and now I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambolino Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 4h is fine but i don't get passing the x esp. after pard bid 5h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Partner's probably doubling on a diamond trick or two, and he's going to be very surprised when the 5♠ bidder doesn't have any diamonds! Wouldn't you double on xxxAKxxxAKxAx ? That would make 7♥ without a diamond lead, but the opponents make 5♠ if the doubler is 4-1-4-4. This is too much of a freak for me. I'm bidding on.

mikegill Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 At matchpoints this is much harder - 6♥ probably won't make and 5♠ probably won't make either. You just can't take this chance at IMPs though, especially at all white, where if you go down 1 doubled instead of setting them 1 doubled it's only lose 5. Give partner some hand like Qx AKQxxx x AQxx and both 5♠ and 6♥ are cold. This isn't even giving partner a fit in diamonds - if he has that, then both sides could be cold for 6-level bids. On a side note, you should bid at least 5♥ the first time - now if partner doubles he knows you have a real freak and you can sit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 This is just too little defence and too much distribution for me to pass the X, inspite of hating to pull PD's 5 level doubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Partner needs THREE defensive tricks in his own hand to set. Looking at my hand, that would most likely be in the form of trump trick and two club tricks.However: Partner's Kxx may be finessable, we may have no diamond tricks, and for partner to have AK clubs is not likely enough for me to pass. In any case, the risk of a double game swing is too much. I bid 6♥. You may also be cold for slam (even grand). They may also bid 6♠ over 6♥. If the saying goes six-five come alive, what's six-six?

Guest Jlall Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 X means he doesn't want you to bid on, and you have no good reason to, so just pass. 6-6 is not a good reason? I mean wow I would never consider passing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I would have bid 5♥ the first time, something I think I do a lot less often than most of you people. But in this situation there is no WAY!!!! that I'm passing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
