Phil Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Agree. I'm not passing and I'm not bidding 3♥ on my 9-8 low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobowolf Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Agree. I'm not passing and I'm not bidding 3♥ on my 9-8 low. You have to draw one to the 8-6 if the 2♠ bidder stands pat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo81 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Good one. I think I'd pass, but it really feels wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I double. Since your call feels wrong and mine feels right, I win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'd pass. Misplaced ♠K, honours in the short suits, no honours at all in my longest suit, risk of playing a 4-2 club fit or a 4-3 diamond fit, partner who couldn't bid over 2♠, and a nasty red stripe on the board.

whereagles Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I bid. Pard's expectancy is something like a 3334 with 10 hcp or thereabouts. Double, intending to pull 3♣ to 3♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Double, intending to pass 3♣. Since you (Nuno) like Robson/Segal, I'd like to mention that doubling and pulling shows extra values and your longest suit when you scramble like this. They do not write this explicitly but you can see that from their example hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You actually want to play in 3♦ opposite a 3334 10-count? You must really hate defending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old York Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm tempted to bid 2NT (protective) .... but don't tell anyone Tony :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not write this explicitly but you can see that from their example hands. That is correct. The ELC of Robson/Segal does show some extras. Now, how much "some extras" means is anybody's choice :) Oh, and gnasher, yes, I prefer to play the hand :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
