whereagles Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I understand pass.I understand 1NT I really don't understand the point of a 1D overcall. Ask marshal miles. I bet you $100 he would overcall 1NT. I could ask him if you want (I haven't cheated or asked him yet). Lets say $100 for me if 1NT, $100 for you if 1♦, break even if he passes. Deal. Gimme his phone number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 "Hello? Is that Mr Miles?"- Yes"I've got a business proposition for you. Sent an email to <jdonn/whereagles> saying it's obvious to <bid 1D/bid 1NT> and I'll pay you $50"- Seems reasonable, what's their address?

jdonn Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Deal. Gimme his phone number. LOL, how about I email him instead of giving his phone number to people in other countries who don't know him?! I will post the unedited response whether I win or lose.

AnJoe Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I hope none of my students see this hand.I am teaching absolutely not to make a TO double of minor suit with less than 4 of one major, 3 of the other or a big big hand. And if they come up with this hand and ask what to do, what do I say??? Incidentally I think I had this hand and I did shut my eyes and bid 1 NT and I don't remember what happened then. Did I make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 You tell them that no rules in bridge apply to every hand, but it is important to be able to pass sometimes when they bid your best suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 The only rule that always works in bridge is: "When in doubt, THINK." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
