karlson Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I think east has a pretty normal double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanoi5 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Thanks God you didn't finish the topic with one cup... East has to double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Double with East. Both majors, all working honours and some spot cards. It would be better if the ace was somewhere else but still you can double with a little to spare. West's pass is fine. North is a lunatic btw :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanoi5 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Maybe North had ♥A with the diamonds... West should bid 3NT... Possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jlall Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 West had an obvious 3N bid, not that 3N X is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 EAST? Aren't you familiar with the hara-kiri TOX? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'm a doubler too, but it's extremely close. If it was just a bit quackier than all those AKQs then I would've passed. The west hand (the original posted hand) after 3D-p-p- could then have almost been a 3NT hand for me - something like Axx xxx KQxx AQx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I would pass as east and bid 3NT as west but both are close and I know my style of bidding very solid live and very light reopening is far from standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
