Free Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 AKQJ98xxxx-10-x-x. Pass. Clear-cut action, and come into the auction later. We call this walking the dog. How else do you expect to get doubled? NotButter Walking the dog is more like bidding 1♠, followed by 2♠, next is 3♠ (not giving up) and finally 4♠, hoping to get doubled at any contract from 2♠ on...

slothy Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hope you guys carry a pooper-scooper around with you... alex xx (For all of you who dont know what a pooper-scooper is, not the first time what i have said not been understood :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrows Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 with no discussion in prior, I would just walk the dog, pass, hope I can make an educated guess later. If people do want to handle crazy hand in a rational manner(I don'tknow if it's possible at all). how about we try 3♥ cue first and pullit to 4♠ later? 3♥ cue then 4NT is no good in that first it's confusing, second,asmany have pointed out, it went down if pd had no ace. I agree weall have bid contract which had no play, zero play. But that doesn't giveus excuse to indulge ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRG Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Each hand is supposed to be played exactly 16 times. I'm not sure if this changes in a tournament setting when an event has more than one section. Uday could answer this latter question.

Chamaco Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Is there anyone playing Namyats overcalls (and 3NT broken minor overcalls)? Here the hand promises one and 1/2 more tricks than namyats but I wonder whether bidding 4♦ (Namyats for spades) and then giving pard a free raise to 5♠ would describe the hand (1/2 extra tricks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlPurple Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 There's a lot to be said for a simple 4♠ pre-empt. Yes, you might miss a slam, but the opponents can exchange a lot less information, and maybe even one of them will gamble to bid on when it's wrong. At IMPs you don't gain all that much by getting doubled. 5 imps, assuming there are no overtricks. But you have a lot to lose if the opps judge correctly. I don't think a 4♠ preempt is going to do the job for you. If you think this is a preempt, at least preempt at 5 level then, possibly even 6 level.You bidding 4 ♠ ain't stopping nobody, expect pd. Mike :) ok, partner has xKQxxQJxxJ9xx So I'm not stopping anyone? or partner has -KQTxxQJxxJ9xx and my LHO, holding x AJ9xxx AKxx Kx and not going to be pre-empted, comes in with 5♥. (Wouldn't you?) And if you doubled on that hand and your partner bid 5♣ (as he would holding 6 of them) would you "correct" it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
