gnasher Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Double. For penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Is this a trick question? Double and congratulate your partner on a good opening bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 this is very close between double and X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Perhaps we need a new sub forum called 'The Bleeding Obvious' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Double seems obvious There are certainly hands where 1. I would open 5♦2. LHO would overcall 5♥3. You would hold the hand in question where we could be cold for slam. ***** happens There's no way to know whether slam is right (and at least 9 times out of ten, slam will be VERY VERY bad) I'd recommend double all the live long day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bid_em_up Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) In what would likely have been the first unanimous poll ever, alas, no poll was given. Edit: Hmmm, was a poll added after the fact or did I just miss it the first time? Edited July 9, 2009 by bid_em_up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Is this a trick question? Double and congratulate your partner on a good opening bid. Who cares if the opening bid was good. Double congratulating your opponent on an excellent overcall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I was tempted to choose "Do Something Else" in the poll, if "Do Something Else" included standing up on your chair and yelling "DOUBLE!" But I will content myself with a mere double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Just for historical reference, I can remember 2 or 3 unanimous polls before, and I think we have had it with over 50 votes. So this is unlikely to be a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Might be the first time I've been able to successfully tap out a FIVE level overcall lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
