Apollo81 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 All Vul, IMPs ♠AQJx♥x♦QJ9xxx♣xx (2♥)-p-(3♥)-? If you're a passer, what's the minimum change to make a different call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm in a passer and I don't think it is very close. You would have to add something like the club king to get me to double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I would double if you changed the ♦Q to the ♦K. Given that our alternative is to defend 3♥, we should be making doubles very very aggressively with this kind of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I dbl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Double. I do think it is close, perhaps I am influenced towards double by seeing the hand given as a problem.Anyway, with a singleton heart, and AQJx of spades it is our job to be doubling here whenever we reasonably can.

jdonn Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I pass, it's too much of a stretch for me. I suspect I lie between han and clee somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I would double if I had a wire on the hand from my last bathroom break. Oh, wait, this isn't the 70s anymore. I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm an passer. Partner could not double or bid... Why make poor partner bid 4♣ and play his 4-2 fit? (Or you could double and correct to ♦ and play 6♦ doubled.) I would like at least 3 clubs to the King and a few other values. Granted, this may be a bit conservative, but considering what options partner had and will have available, it seems quite safe. Also: It's IMPs... So I lose six IMPs, big deal!! Compared to what could happen, I'd call it playing it safe. AJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Mouse. I'll regret this later, I'm quite sure. I don't need much more... maybe even just take a ♦ and turn it into a ♣... but more likely I'm going to need another honor of some variety.
