hanp Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Luckily your peers are Justin, Arend, Han et al. Going to print this out and show it to all my bridge friends. Now it is a matter of time before there is a appeal against Justin and the director comes and asks me what I would have done. That will be the day!

cloa513 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 There is some risk that partner might go for penalty when you have a slam in hearts- ♣KQxxxx♦x♥Kxx♠QJx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcD Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 As mch as I do not like to dbl with a void , here the extra power + the MP format makes the dbl clearcut. I think the most likely explanation for the hesitation is that partner cannot remember where he parked his car. In any case , no one but a complete beginner would tank for 30s wsith a penalty dbl of clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 well said Marc, the comment that partner is "very good" made it clear that partner did not have this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoKole Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 This is a clear Double. You can always act with your natural bid, inspite of partners hesitations as long as your own hand describes your bid even if partner had not hesitated. Overbidding by taking into account partner's hesitation (ie points - distribution) would be construed as UI. Cheers, Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
