peachy Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I went wrong here. Would like to see how others judge this. [hv=d=e&v=n&s=s42h854da1095cj952]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv]E S W N(1D) P (1S) 2H(Dbl!) P (3D) Dbl(3S) ? You are South, with expert partner, reasonable opponents. SAYC style.East's Dbl was "support"North's Dbl was "extras, with possible alternate strain(s)" Please construct hand or hands for North, compatible with the bidding.What is your call?

655321 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I prefer a 3♥ bid instead of a Pass last time. A simple raise doesn't promise much, and we have got the hand off our chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now answer my questions, assuming you had to come in and sub at the stage of the bidding as diagrammed:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I would bid 4 ♥. Maybe we have a double fit, maybe they will sacrifice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi, Pass, and depending on your agreements,I agree with Pass over the X. I dont really care, what partner holds. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Would have bid 3♥ the first time. I have a million ways to support partner, so this hand is good enough for the weakest possible raise. It is not "safe" to bid 3♥, but look what trouble pass got us into. Anyway, as it is, I cannot play hide and seek with support and working points. 4♥ is akin to a wtp, even though it might easily be wrong.

OleBerg Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Dealer: East Vul: N/S Scoring: IMP ♠ AK109 ♥ AQJ32 ♦ 2 ♣ Q43 ♠ J653 ♥ 96 ♦ J876 ♣ A106 ♠ Q87 ♥ K107 ♦ KQ43 ♣ K87 ♠ 42 ♥ 854 ♦ A1095 ♣ J952 Pass.North has a good hand, with a singleton ♦.Spades are 4-3 with E/W.This will go down.If East has this hand, he has obviously lost his marbles, and I will win the match easily.

sathyab Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 For the opponents bidding to make sense, spades are 4-3. Additionally the only reason East is bidding 3♠ over 3♦ X is that he has only 3 ♦s, making him 3-4-3-3. May be he opened 1♦ instead of 1♣ because his ♦s were better than his ♣s. If we're right so far, partner is 4-5-2-2 with a good hand. When he doubled 3♦ he couldn't have known anything about East's distribution except his ♠ holding, so he was hoping to play 3♥ if you couldn't pass 3♦ X.

In other words partner can still have 4=1=5=3 distribution which makes his second double more reasonable than 4=5=2=2. In any case the only thing I wouldn't do is bid 4♥, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I would bid 4♥. Pard obviously has a good hand and we support his suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
