Gerben42 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'll show restraint and pass. Partner would have stretched to bid 4♠ on this auction, but didn't. The Dbl suggest that we do not have a great majority of strength on this hand, so 5m seems unlikely too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I think it is still possible for us to have 4 card spade fit from partner, but the problem is that we are never ever gonna find it out. Double will tend to let partner pass with balanced hand and pull without it. If he pulls we might be finding a good sacrifice. If he doesn't we might score a lucky 500. (or -990 as well) This is very close, and my image of LHO's style might determine what I would do at the table. With no info I think I pass.

Phil Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I passed and I think its pretty chicken. Pard held: Ax xxx AQxxxx Ax. We got 200 out of 4♥, but 5♦ is cold even though the ♦K is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Pard held: Ax xxx AQxxxx Ax. That looks like a 15-17 notrump opening to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlam Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Pard held: Ax xxx AQxxxx Ax. That looks like a 15-17 notrump opening to me. Do you have a method to show 4144 over 1NT? I would end in 3N after a 1N opening, which wouldn't be a huge success... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanp Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I pass, I would also open 1NT with partner's hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I think this is a clear double- after I read about the complete hand. :) There is a good chance that I had been in 3 NT with silent opps and in 5 ♦ when they had been so kind to bid their hearts.
