andy_h Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 At r/w in 1st seat, you hold [hv=d=s&v=n&s=sakjxhadk9765xctx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] You open 1♦ and LHO preempts 4♣. This is passed back to you.Any plans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I will venture a 4♦ bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Pass it out. If partner had really short clubs and some values he might have acted, and if he doesn't, we certainly want to defend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel_k Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Pass. Double and remove 4♥ to 4♠ is a possible second choice but not particularly close. Partner could have hands where we make 4♠ but I think bidding will lead to too many 4 or 6 imp (or bigger) losses when nothing makes. Would not bid 4♦ as eleven tricks are unlikely and partner will often raise when we make ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jlall Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 pass, not close. it is close if partner is going to pass the hand he held Partner had a routine pass. The fact that when partner has his best hand and you have your best hand 2 passes don't work together doesn't mean either pass is a bad decision.

The two passes didn't work that badly: we gained 2 IMPS against par, and if either of us had bid we'd have gone minus on a board where we're supposed to go plus.

I think 3NT our way is unbeatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
