spotlight7 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hi Double. Shows values, partner normally passes or bids with freak hands. Regards, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 They may be, but I really don't think we are in a good position to guess. I will pass, partner still has a bid. IMO 5 of a red suit could be a good save, but it could also be a phantom or be going for a number... I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuck. After the hand the table was somewhat puzzled why I doubled. I argued that I would do it again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlam Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I would certainly double, I am not sure I would pass as East, but I am sure I would lead a diamond not a heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLOL Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Why is everyone doubling? I think bidding is right, I would try 5D as a lead director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Because on most days I expect no one is making game... 5♥ is going for at least 500 on decent defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Maybe they are stealing, but I don't see where I can provide more than 2 tricks in defence vs 4♠ and don't expect 5♥ to make. I am going against the flow here and passing. I don't see the IMP odds of doubling 4♠ when I am unsure whether it makes or not since the opps likely have lots of distribution. I'd X this at MP, however Just my opinion... neilkaz.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
