bid_em_up Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 [hv=d=e&v=b&s=sa108742h842dckj32]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] (2H) - p - (4H)* - p** -(p) - (x) - p - ? * About a 30 second tank from a LOL, who is obviously holding a good hand** Do you agree with pass here? Another one of our "bad" results. Which poison do you pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I would have bid 4♠ before, and I'll do it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I would have bid 4♠ before, but now I pass. Partner's double is penalties, not some weak t/o. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 If the LOL's tank means she has a lot of HCP I pass on both occasions. Without the break in tempo I bid 4♠ and this double should be for penalties so I leave it. Maybe the LOL has diamonds among her hearts, we'll see.

ArtK78 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Clear 4♠ bid on the first round. Yes, the double of 4♥ is for penalties. I will probably leave it in, but partner might not have doubled if he knew I could have this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 The double is penalties, so that part of the question isn't interesting. I think I would have bid 4S the round before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I might have bid the 1st round. 4♠ now is clear, as pard has some weakish 4441 or 5440. By the way, did I tank over 4♥? This smells like a laws question ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bid_em_up Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 By the way, did I tank over 4♥? This smells like a laws question :rolleyes: No, you did not, and no, there is no "laws" question to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I have 3 hearts and partner has a penalty double of 4 Hearts? Doubtful. Well, if this is a clear penalty double, I surely pass, I cannot have more defence. If this is a late take-out with a weak 40(45), I try 4 Spade, what else? If I have no idea what partner has, I would bid 4 ♠, this is less expensive in case I err. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Pard's found a double out of the blue here. 4♠; liking my chances with three baby hearts opposite a likely void, with my void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackenbush Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 4♠ the first time - let the LOL have the last guess. Having passed, I'll still try 4♠. Partner could have ♥AQT9 and out, but even then we might make it. Maybe I'm biased that the partners I play with are capable of doubling on a whim with heart shortness here.

Free Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 The LOL may have HCP but no fit... :( I pass twice against these lols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
