mtvesuvius Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Nobody Vulnerable at IMPs, you deal: ♠ AQ5♥ AQ9763♦ J8♣ Q8 You open 1♥, LHO bids 3♣, partner bids 3♥, pass to you... Do you bid game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yes, and yes it may go down. Why fool around at Imps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiddity Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yes, and yes it may go down. Why fool around at Imps. Because going down 1 in 4H (140 - (-50)) is almost as costly as missing the non-vulnerable game (420-170)? That's 5 imps vs 6... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I wouldn't even be really surprised if 3N is the winning call, but it looks like I have a 4♥ bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 It's pretty close. My first instinct was to pass, but I'm a natural underbidder sometimes so if I'm a voice in the wilderness here I'm probably wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDean Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I would bid 4♥, sucker for long suits and aces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I pass. I'd bid if we were red. But I can easily envision 4 minor-suit losers. Or just 4 losers in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'm a punter at IMPs, so 4♥. Wouldn't be surprised to find partner with T9xxxx KJT Kxx x and going down. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised to find partner with T9xxxx KJT Kxx x and going down. :) Nor would I be surprised if you found partner with that hand and made! I was a little amused that opposite the (obviously) matching hand to this one, I still had no idea if I wanted to be in game or not. At least that kept me from being biased, I think.

mtvesuvius Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Wouldn't be surprised to find partner with T9xxxx KJT Kxx x and going down. :) That's what I had :) As for the result... Jilly bid 4♥ with this hand, and our opponents took that phantom in 5♣... Down 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect to go down vs that hand, although that's far from certain.But still bid 4♥, no bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 This is the sort of situation where you should bid game first and think later (on the play :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
