MarkDean Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 [hv=d=w&v=n&s=sahqj86dkjt7ct975]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] (1♦) P (1♠) P(2♠) dbl (P) ? What do you think is going on? What is your call? If it affects your view, partner is good and dependable, LHO is a top expert, and RHO is unknown (probably a client). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 4♥, not really close to anything else. Looks like spades are 4-6. I don't know whether I'm rooting for them to sacrifice or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 4♥. I trust partner, who said that he did not have a takeout double over 1♦ (no doubt because he was short in spades) but has values. RHO probably has 6 spades, and did not bid 3♠ due to the weakness of his hand. Perhaps he did not realize that 3♠ should be a weak hand with long spades, or perhaps in this client-pro partnership 3♠ is not played as a weak bid.

whereagles Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I think pard has a 3433 or thereabouts with 12-14. Playing lebensohl here, I'll bid a good 3♥. Otherwise I'll just bid 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I think pard has a 3433 or thereabouts with 12-14. Playing lebensohl here, I'll bid a good 3♥. Otherwise I'll just bid 4♥. That's certainly very courageous of partner coming back into the auction with 12-14 3433! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Well, with wimpy spades and the rest of the points well distributed, it doesn't take too much courage. It can also be that he's got 3451 or 3415 and is planning on pulling pard's 'wrong' minor-suit bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 is this part of OBAR principles? I'd probably bid 2NT as scrambling. 4♥ is way too high imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Considering the 1♦ bid I think 4♥ is too much. I'll content myself with 3♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Partner did not double 1 diamond but 2 Spade.What do you expect him to hold? I think about: Dealer: West Vul: N/S Scoring: IMP ♠ A ♥ QJ86 ♦ KJT7 ♣ T975 is the perfect hand for a late take out. But wait. This is not his hand, this is ours.So what does he hold? 3424? Why didn't he double 1 Diamond? 2425? Why didn't they bid more then 2 Spade? I am very scary that something strange is going on, so I bid just 3 ♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
