cRi cRi Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Double .... What else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 This hand screams -730, ♦Q is useless on defence if partner has a club fit you are toasted. I would auto double opposite a normal 2♦ overcall. If partner is often light I like 4♦ now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinidad Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Didn't you describe your hand already? I think you did. That means partner has made the decision to defend 3♠ undoubled, unless you have something new to add. You don't have abnything new to add, therefore you respect partner's decision and pass.

cRi cRi Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I storngly disagree with the fact that you have shown your hand already. Wouldn't you dbl with a 2432 and 8HCP ? I would. This hand is golden, moreover your passed 1st so your partner exactly know what to expect. Maybe -730 but .... Partner does not have to pass. Well, it is matchpoint after all, ***** happens. -140 wont be a good score with this hand, I can promise you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 -140 is no good score, but + 50 is better then -100/-200. We have around half of the deck, no established great fit. I would like to show this hand by double, but I do not want him to sit and I do not want him to run. :) So I pass too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Pass. Do we have a certain plus score? Given that p may be light,the answer to "certain" is no. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinidad Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I storngly disagree with the fact that you have shown your hand already. Wouldn't you dbl with a 2432 and 8HCP ? I would.(I assume you meant 2434. :)) I wouldn't double with a 2434 8 count. That is why I think I have described my hand. With a 2434 8 count, I would bid 3♦. With a 2425 8 count, I might double and I might pass. With a 2524 8 count, I would usually double, but not always. (Take the given hand and change the ♣K into the ♠J to get ♠Jx ♥J9xxx ♦Qx ♣ATxx and I would pass.) Is the actual hand very different from a good 2425 8 count? I don't think so.

cRi cRi Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well, maybe I am wrong then. But I would dbl any 2434 8 count, And there in no way I let 3♠ being non vul with this hand. Too many ways to win imho. The 3 situations I can see where bidding is wrong is :A - partner passes and it makesB - Partner bids, 3♠ was down and we go down at the 4 levelC - Partner bids, we go for 2 down AND we got dbled. I trust partner judgment, and If A happens quite often, B should very rarely happen and vice versa. I dont mean I trust partner to bid perfectly not know everything, just that I think if he tends to pass often, he will not bid when pass is the right action. Going down 2 with my hand and get doubled is, imo, unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_s Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm sort of pleasantly surprised that no one has suggested opening with this hand (yet). I wouldn't - but only because I can't stand a 2♦ response. Agree with passing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
