jdonn Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Secondly, does this hand argue sufficiently to play negative doubles only through 2S at matchpoints? Not even close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Pass was the winning action, you will collect 1100 opposite partner's ♠Axxx ♥Kxx ♦AKxxx ♣x (yes, a perfecto, though this kind of hand is an argument that you would get 800 pretty often anyway). Reaching 3N is a fairly bad score, 4♥ will make one more trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 BTW, if you are passing, how clear is it that you didn't break tempo? While most of us, I expect, have schooled ourselves to make these decisions in tempo, close calls like this can cause us to hiccup. I held a hand very similar to this in Beijing, not behind screens. I thought for a long time and bid 3NT, which was a losing action then. I'm glad to note that I made my call in tempo this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
