Ant590 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 A terrible board on the duplicate MPs this evening.... who's to blame?

jmcw Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 South 2nd DBL is a bit of a stretch perhaps, but IMO its okay. Given the auction North has a clear 4♠ bid, so he's to blame 99% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 South's second double is from outer space, he simply does not have enough extra. I agree north should bid 4♠ but he was getting a terrible board either way. South is the one who gave away the nice luck of EW missing game. 5% north, 95% south. I give south 100% for the result, but just want to punish north a little bit since I don't agree with his action. But all that means is he failed to jump out of the fire and into the frying pan.

rogerclee Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I think south is about a queen short of a minimum second round double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 South should not x again. Given that she did make a very poor call, North should bid 4S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossoneri Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I fail to see what does South have to double. I think that is the crucial mistake by either side in this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 South doesn't have a 2nd double. This is barely a double of 3♦ much less four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 North's best chance when the second Dbl comes back to him is hope for a one trick set - a reasonable expectation considering that South doubled twice. I think 100% South for the second double, he is too light for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I agree with the others here that South is too light for his 2nd double, but as North I have to choose my death in 4♠. Blame 90%S 10% N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 North for passing his partner's takeout double with a small doubleton and South for doubling twice without the values for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Also West by the way, WTH is 4D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I agree with Peachy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Also West by the way, WTH is 4D? Natural. An invite to 5 :rolleyes: Incidently, I blame North because that's not the right type of hand to pass the double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shintaro Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I think south is about a queen short of a minimum second round double. ;) never mind south being a queen short ; south is a brain cell or 6 short :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
