benlessard Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 W vs W (3C)------X--------(Pass)--------??? AQ9xxTxxxKTxx I think its obvious do you ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------W vs Red, (maybe its R vs R) 1C------(P)--------1H--------(P)1NT-----(P)--------(P)-------Xpass-----(2H)------??? TxxxAJxxAxxTx Partner 1Nt rebid is always balanced 12-14. Bidding 2H seems painful and youre against a strong pair. In the 2nd case youre estimate is 50%-52 and might feel the need to swing a bit because its will be won in the 60% with 6 board to play.

jdonn Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 4♠ on the first which seems very easy to me. What's your creative answer, trying for slam or something? Double on the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkDean Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 4♠, very clear to me. Double, but less clear...what does LHO's double mean, btw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 4♠ on the first which seems very easy to me. What's your creative answer, trying for slam or something? 4♣ to catter with partner having a strong 2461, not that unlikelly. AQ9xx is not a bad side suit after all. But even then partner should have a spade honnor, so 4♠ will be at least ok. With Minors reversed I'd think of bidding just 3♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted April 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I of course bid 4S. Its was just to show to someone that its obvious. and Ive double. LHO know that -200 is a bad score so he will always have good hand for the double and he should have a good hearts for the pass and balance. [hv=d=n&v=b&n=sjxxhxxdjtxxcakqj&w=sakxxhqtxxdkqxcxx&e=sqxhk87dxxxcxxxxx&s=stxxxhajxxdaxxctx]399|300|Scoring: MP[/hv] Rho did well to bid 2H (i would have been tempted by 2C) . Considering the state of the tourney i still agree with my double but its not 100% clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'm confused by the second hand. Where is the 9 of hearts? Why do you think rho did well to pull when his side seems to have been getting +200? What kind of double is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I agree. IMHO LHO is too weak to reopen its just too dangerous. I play that double show a strong Nt hand but since RHO didnt pass ive assume that they reopen with less pts more shape (4441,come to mind). Im also not sure if we were white or red but if the X show a strong nt RHO must pass and be happy to get +100 even if +110 is possible.
