andy_h Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Not sure if this kind of hand has been discussed before..but it came up a few days ago. [hv=d=w&v=b&s=sa7ha7daj94caq432]133|100|[/hv] West is the dealer and opens 1H. Partner passes and RHO jumps to 3H which is preemptive. Your bid. Does the scoring matter?

jdonn Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I think it's very close between passing, and doubling and just living with it if partner bids spades. 4♣ is not a good option to me. I would pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Lol I forgot to even mention 3NT. I should have since it's not as bad as 4♣ which I did mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I pass. 3N second choice. Tough one to pass, but seems prudent here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I like 3NT. I doubt I'll like the result, but I like the bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) 3N wtp. Oops sorry misread the auction. Pass. Edited September 3, 2008 by helene_t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm not passing with this, even though it could be right. I'm doubling and converting 3♠ to 3N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Tough problem. 3NT looks so obvious at first glance, but the odds are heavily against us making 3NT. So it's either pass or double. That's close I think. Not sure I'd manage this at the table, but I'm passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 No, 3NT with Axx isn't better, in fact worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 This was the full hand: [hv=d=w&v=b&n=sqt952h62d6ckjt95&w=s86hkqt85dkqt75c8&e=skj43hj943d832c76&s=sa7ha7daj94caq432]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] At my table North got into the auction with 1S thus finding 5C.But just hearing another person who was faced with this auction when his partner didn't overcall.

jdonn Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 At no vul, no position, no form of scoring would you catch me even think about passing the north hand over an opening bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
