manudude03 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 [hv=d=n&v=n&s=sak2hdakt964ckqj7]133|100|Scoring: XIMP[/hv] You partner a BBO pickup vs 2 other juniors after your regular needs to go afk for 10 mins and you pick up this as East. 1D on your right alerted as 0-7 any. Unfortunately the opps aren't nice enough to provide a recommended defence. What's the plan? If you double, the auction goes: (1D*)-X-(1H)-X(P)-??

dicklont Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Double.When partner starts bidding hearts 3NT we will probably end in 3NT.When the opps both bid hearts we find a fit and try for slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 yes, without special agreement this must show something like a weak NT / t/o on ♦, or any strong hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotShot Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I would expect that partner holds 5♠'s and a strong hand, probably with a wasted ♥ control.Given that we have so little agreements I would bid 6♠ now, and I would expect that partner recognizes that if he holds the ♣A he should bid 7♠.

CSGibson Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I would expect that partner holds 5♠'s and a strong hand, probably with a wasted ♥ control.Given that we have so little agreements I would bid 6♠ now, and I would expect that partner recognizes that if he holds the ♣A he should bid 7♠. If partner had 5 spades, why wouldn't he bid spades instead of doubling hearts? I assume that X of hearts should be takeout in this auction, as it is most analogous to a 1♣-(1♥)-X auction as anything. Anyway, I also assume that X would either be a weak NT hand, or a hand that is too strong to start with a natural call. When you double, cue-bid, then bid 3 diamonds, you've set up the latter hand. I would bid 3 ♠ now, forcing, showing 3 of them. Partner should be able to make another call (if 3N, I'm bidding 4 clubs), and we'll get to the right spot if we both remember our fundamental principles.

P_Marlowe Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 #1 double is certainly the sensible thing to do#2 4D..................................................................#3 if I had bid 2H, than I have to bid 4D over 3H As it is: you play with a stranged, avoid making cues, unless, you really know, what is going on. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manudude03 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Maybe not an approved auction, I made sure to thank partner for not raising :) [hv=d=n&v=n&n=sqt74h96d832c8432&w=sj653hakqj5d5cat6&e=sak2hdakt964ckqj7&s=s98ht87432dqj7c95]399|300|Scoring: XIMP[/hv] 1D-X-1H-XP-6D-AP Opps were keen to point out 1H goes for 1400 lol.

whereagles Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Ridiculous that you didn't find out the ice-cold 7♣ contract :) :D :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Ridiculous that you didn't find out the ice-cold 7♣ contract :) :D :) Indeed. The obvious auction should have been: (1♦) - x - (1♥) - x(P) - 7♣ :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
