jdonn Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Is any auction that doesn't involve a direct raise as responder's first bid a misfit auction? Also I'm curious to see how you define "trick" since it seems different from my definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 LOL, I still think 9 tricks is a long way off but Josh sure is winning this argument. (which is all he is after of course.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said to begin with I don't really hate the choices that I didn't choose. I was even generous, I said our 21 count was 'nothing more than half the deck'.

hanp Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Well, according to Gerben a jack is 0 points so you have 19. Which is still more than half the deck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretzalz Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I don't understand why double is takeout. Shouldn't 2N be for the minors and double strong balanced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I think that we could be +200 or +300 defending 2S with some regularity. And, that the opponents will be able to double us in 3N with some frequency when it is going down a couple of tricks. So, the usual "we can make 3N 40%-50% of the time" reasoning doesn't quite work. I would pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
