jonottawa Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Aight, gonna make this an actual problem hand since the Epeen contest that prompted this thread has subsided. The original hand is still down there in invisible ink somewhere but here's a problem hand (the first 6 comments below refer to the original hand.) Favorable IMPs You dealt ♠AKJ ♥ - ♦AQ63 ♣KQ9542 1♣ - P - 1♦ - 1N (15-17)X - 2♥ - P - P 3♥ - P - 3♠ - P - ? Do you like your bidding so far and what do you do now? ♠9876 ♥987 ♦Q2 ♣9876 All red IMPs, your pard is the 1♦ overcaller 1♣ - 1♦ - 1♥ - P 1♠ - 4♦ - P - ?

rogerclee Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Jonathan, what is the point of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Am I missing something? Pass looks normal? If partner could make 4♦ without your help, surely he'd have bid something other than 1♦, such as X or 5♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonottawa Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 This is a vanity thread. You're not missing something. If you think the answer is obvious, I do too. If you think vanity threads suck, sorry. This is my first and hopefully my last here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 If you think the answer is obvious, I do too. You proved me wrong, I thought you didn't realize the answer is obvious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Pass. If I just voted for the other hand, they have,... so what, I have been +1 before.How many major cards together?Going plus, should be brilliant. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I don't understand why the top hand didn't bid 4♥ over 2♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I would have bid 3H instead of doubling 1NT. It seems important to show my hand before it is too late to do so. A direct 4H would be exclusion but I won't use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I think its very unusual to draft a vanity poll and a few days later completely change the original post. Did an admin restrict your amount of new posts? On the new hand I bid 4♥, but this just postpones a guess. To make slam I'll need some sort of ♦JT / KT9 and I have no real way to determine if pard has this. I think its fantasy to hope for the ♣A in pard's hand, but he might have a club void and some diamond length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
