hrothgar Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I suspect that the worst bid is 7NT I lean towards pass, planning to convert a reopening doubleDouble is also a reasonable choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I pass, I prefer 2NT over double as I don't want to be guessing over 3m. Make us unfavorable and I would prefer 2NT over pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 definitely would go for the throat here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 At this vul, I'm going for penalties and passing. If they were non-vul and us vul, I'd bid 3NT (we play 2NT here as 4+ spades limit+ raise). Playing standard, reasonable bids are pass, 2NT (nat, inv), 3NT, X. I suppose you bid a minor suit, which partner raised, bypassing 3NT? Or you bid 3♥, which partner took as a spade raise, ending up in a 5-1 fit?

jtfanclub Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Dangerous to pass here, but given the vulnerability, not too dangerous. Who knows, they might go -4 undoubled for a push! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantumcat Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Double isn't so bad? You will live if p bids 2S, happy in 3 of a minor, and can bid 3NT over p's 3H. If they bid 3H you are quite happy for them to play there doubled. If you pass p may pass too (although I guess he isn't allowed to with short hearts).

P_Marlowe Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 X. With kind regardsMarlowe PS: Given the vulnerability Pass is certainly a reaonable option. The meaning of 2NT is partnership depend, some play it as good-bad / lebensohl, some as scrambling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
