jillybean Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 So, just how bad was it Adam? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I don't think anyone is saying the X isn't penalty, just that with 0=5=6=2 you can pull it if you want... Billactually a lot of people are saying you cannot pull it if you want. They are wrong. You can legally pull it, but probably won't do it again, with this same partner. If I understand you correctly you are saying that having pulled the trigger on the 2♠ bidder he is ready to pull the plug on his CHO :)yep, a little assasin humor. I deserve that for comparing hijack and kidnap when bagging on Blue and Black a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 So, just how bad was it Adam? B) Quite awful. After a little thought I decided to pull, which was a very bad choice... but it got worse. I bid 4NT and partner bid 5♦ which RHO doubled, passed back to partner who thought that I should be punished for pulling... and bid 5NT! LOL Dummy was Q9xxx Jxx AKQ xx. -1400. $@&%. I'll be passing in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 If pds X is penalty, and can't play in either ♦'s or ♥'s opposite this hand, then he should have passed, not X'd. So 4NT is absolutely clear. If pd doesn't like it, get a new pd! Bill Silly comment. You want partner to pass on KQJT and a card because partner will take it out? LOL! By the way, just noticed partner's hand:Dummy was Q9xxx Jxx AKQ xx. -1400. $@&%. I'll be passing in the future. You might like to ask partner where the hand that he held during the auction is. This is nowhere near a double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 X is pen., you have one trick for the defence, when you could have 0, so Pass.How happy I am? No idea, but it the auction is rational, I followthe rational auction ... assuming therational auction crosses mymind.
