hanp Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I also pass and I think it is clear. Not funny though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'll dbl. This rates to be our hand and I sure don't wanna be in 5♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I didn't think this was funny at first, but it has gotten funnier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sathyab Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'll dbl. This rates to be our hand and I sure don't wanna be in 5♥.It could easily be our hand in 5♦ or 5♥. My suspicion is that RHO has a massive black two suiter like KJxxx x x QJxxxx. Partner will leave in your double most of the time. The exact same sequence occurred a while ago at MP. The responder had Ax QJxxx Qxxxx Q. When 4♠ got back to him, he had a choice of doubling or bidding 4nt and chose the latter, getting to 5♦ which could have beaten, but defense didn't get off to the right lead. The 4♠ bidder had QJxx xx x AJxxxx. Expecting the 4♠ bidder to have one more ♠ or that they may break 3-1 when the defense didn't hold the ♠A, the opening leader didn't lead a ♠ :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I've looked at the hand for a long time and still don't know what to do. I'm afraid at the table I might have a tempo problem to complicate matters for partner... I think Dbl might mean to partner that I don't have 4-card hearts and/or I have extras. Only half of this is true and the other half [extras] only so-so. And I don't have an agreement {Is there a standard or expert standard? If yes, I expect it to show extras and suggest penalty} I'm passing. In my partnerships a negative double could be as little as xx-Axxxx-xxx-QJx.

655321 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Nothing except 'pass WTP' occurs to me. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 OK tell us Phil, you passed and you missed 5H and this was somehow funny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Bidding is a joke IMO. I held this hand and I thought it was a WTP pass. My opponent bid 5♥ and gained 3 IMPs for -500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I think we need an "uninteresting bridge hands" forum for hands like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
