Echognome Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Personally I think this is easier to post as a bidding problem on the West hand. I don't think East has a call at either turn. I suspect I'd take the chance of bidding 5♥, but it's harder to be unbiased knowing both hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Seems normal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Certainly east is normal. Probably west is normal. The hand biases me a little but I still think he should pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmunte1 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 You've been shut off from biding, it's normal. West doesn't have enough offensive tricks to enter the bidding at trick 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hi, #East: The alternative to Pass is 3C, which would be highly agressive, given the vulnerability (equal), you may well say hyper agressive. So Pass is normal and the sane action. #West: I am pretty sure, I would have passed without much considerations. Again: Bidding 5H with this hand will given than on avg. at least 300, and 500 / 800 are in the picture, so the gain vs. 420 wont be huge, but you may loose much. Besides you have 2-3 tricks against the contract, partmer may well have 1-2 or, giving you a fair chance of beating the contract. So pass is also normal and the sane action. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 You'd get some minority votes for double with West. I've seen Justin suggest x on similar hands. He is right a scary amount of the time. Of course this is a normal result. Preempts work (again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benoit35 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 If opponents are vulnerable I as West will try 5♥, hoping for a trick from partner. Otherwise I shut up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
