mtvesuvius Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'm doubling...

Depending on partner, he may think that X is asking for a ♦ lead. More power to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackshoe Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I was called when the dummy came down? First thing I do is ask EW to explain their auction. Not gonna say anything else until I hear that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOL Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 If the guy on my left is someone I know to be a good player, and I'm sure they know that 3C is a strong jump shift, I would pass. In all other situations I would double. If the opps are rational I cannot construct any hand where they are going down 2, and can construct several where they make. If the opps are either bad or randoms who I don't know, I would double because they could be doing something stupid. If it's possible LHO has made a weak jump shift and RHO doesn't know what it is, then I would definitely double. I think doubling against Hamman and Zia or something is a pretty significant mistake, lefty has a lot of black cards and they might be making 6 (which I won't double either). They also might redouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna say anything else until I hear that. There wasn't any chat from the TD; he made a ruling without saying anything to South then later reversed it. This is online bridge remember!

whereagles Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Pass 5♣, unless declarer is the Rabbit, in which case you dbl, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 If the guy on my left is someone I know to be a good player, and I'm sure they know that 3C is a strong jump shift, I would pass. LHO is a passed hand. Perhaps you should go to bed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillybean Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I assume this is another impossible TD question, the only answer being do not play in this TD's tournament again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'd be curious to hear what 3C is. If it's a SJS versus a fit jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I would certainly have overcalled 1H. Why pass with this hand and an excellent 4 card suit?Pass now on the posted auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
