helene_t Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Wondering if double shows this hand. I am afraid not. Partner may think I have clubs and hearts. Good problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewj Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hm, think that this is take out and I definitely want to double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 If they pass out 2 Heart, Partners most likely hand is around a 3532 shape with around 7 HCPs.Do I want to play 2 Heart double? Or di I want to declare any other ontract?I want to play 2 Heart unoubled. And if they bid more I am happy to stay silent anway.If I want to bid at all, I had tried 2Club one round earlier, but I hadn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Pass now. Why on earth would you want to bid with this hand. They may well be in a 5-2 fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 #1 yes, a distant alternative is 2C, but I would not even see it, if I went on the top of the nearest hill (I agree, not a big hill)#2 pass, no alternative With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Pass now. Why on earth would you want to bid with this hand. They may well be in a 5-2 fit....and? If partner has anything at all + five decent hearts, it could be a blood bath in 2♥X. Our honour location is perfect for a double. The black aces and solid diamonds. The only serious flaw is the lack of a T or J in spades to make RHO's holding more 'finessable'. Double! Take-out of hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickRicky Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi all, I would like to go back to the previous round of bidding and double! Now I will also double, but I am less happy doing it now than last round. Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the alternative is, partner isdead (not unlikely), and responder is5-6-3 in the majors, or opener 6-4.

B) .-) you are not the only one. Sometimes I write in a krytic way, ... you could also say something, which usesthe words "random" and "noise", I prefer my version,it sounds nicer. I was just trying to point out, that there are situations,when they have a fit.#1 opener is 6-4#2 responder has 5 or 6 spades besides 3 hearts, although I dont think this very likely,most would raise If does happens + plus partner being broke, it may wellbe, that 2Hx goes +1, With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Sometimes I write in a krytic way Classic lol Seriously, if they have a fit, we probably have one! Or maybe our good defense and the 4-1 break would be enough to beat them a trick or two anyway, and why shouldn't it be? Meanwhile if they are in a 5-2, as this auction tends to be, I expect to slaughter 2♥X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 For those it might interest, I doubled and it worked out. 2♥ was a winner, but so were the3♣ my partner bid. I did feel though, that I had to muster a little courage to get the double of the ground. To be perfectly true, I had a little help. Before replying 1♠, my RHO made a twich, that I intepreted as an unwillingness to show his spades. (Which were K222.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
