benlessard Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Playing standard method its a WTP X. The way im playing, X tend to show a balanced or semi balanced hand and partner pass more often then in standard method so doubling with a void is out of question therefore i bid 4C showing both M. At equal length partner will choose H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shevek Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 4♥. Don't want partner to bid 4♠ over 4♣ with something like xxx, Qx.Double is okay too, though partner is still waiting for my trump switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobowolf Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 4♣...way more offense than defense and no interest in partner sitting for 3♣x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Double, wtp? 4♣....wow. Do people simply enjoy inferior fits? Partner passing COULD be bad, but would more likely be good, or at least no disaster, so what exactly is the objection to double? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobowolf Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I've seen the error of my ways. I'm down with the double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Double. The bidding problem may come later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Double is clear IMO. It's by far the most flexible action. I'm too strong for a 3♥ overcall, and 4♣ is very misdirected. The only plausible alternative to me is 4♥, but even that is too unilateral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcD Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 4♥ not double . If i double i could be waiting a long time for the next round of bidding. Unlikely but why take a chance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If partner passes, why do you assume that is bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Agree that X is clear but I'm still pretty unhappy about it. Sometimes you have to double on hands where it's not great if partner passes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
