Hanoi5 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 ♠7♥75♦QT952♣T8753 Ugly hand, I know. You got to play it at the following point: 1♦ 2♦ 3♦ 4♠5♦ Pa Pa 5♠X Pa ??? What do you do now? Would partner's pass be forcing? Let's suppose your partner knows you can have this hand from the bidding, does that change your decision? Let's say partner expects a better hand, do you bid differently? It's a butler tourney, they're vulnerable, you're not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 If pard expects me to have just about this, I pass. Otherwise I'll wiggle... and probably pass also. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Partner did not ask for my opinion. He said that 5♠ was going down. Who am I to overrule him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 3♦ was a clear misbid imo. 4♦ preemptive instead, perhaps even 5♦, if 1♦ shows 4. As usual it becomes a problem to respect partner's later decisions when one fails to show the nature of the supporting hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 When you bid 3♦, you committed yourself to passing now.... never try to correct a mistake in these circumstances... stay fixed, and remember this hand next time you are tempted to make a call such as 3♦. Of course, if this hand was within the range of hands partner can expect for 3♦ (I prefer pass or maybe 4♦), then this is a wtp pass.

kenrexford Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Bear with me here: I don't think I've ever not regretted pulling partner's double at the 5-level That was hard to follow. Sort of double negative-ish. So, you have always been wrong when pulling, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely could count the number on 1 hand I think, which is how I'm pretty sure my memory is correct. Anyway yeah I pass here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Did partner just make a striped tailed ape double? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
