Fluffy Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 no, its not a wtp, you can double and let partner leave it in with a semi-balanced hand, specially against agressive opps. But with no furthr info I will stick with 5♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiddity Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 5H. We seem to have reasonable chances opposite a 1444 13-count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtK78 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I like 5♥. If you double, you could miss a 5-5 heart fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieb Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Although double does not show a trump stack, in this auction it is very likely that partner will pass. I would expect 4SX to go for 300 most often with frequent 100's and 500's. Once in a while 4S will make. 5H is far from a lock, but I think it will make considerably more than half the time. I think bidding is the long time winner. A rough double dummy simulation (where assumed that partner always passes) suggested bidding 5H wins 4.09 IMPs on average.

gwnn Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 At imps this can't be a big minus if I double and it ends the auction, I think at matchpoints it would be much more difficult where -500 might be a big fat zero. So I double here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 [hv=d=w&v=n&s=st3hak763dkt6cj84]133|100|Scoring: IMP(2♠) - Dbl - (4♠) - ?[/hv] Perhaps this is a WTP, but what say you? my choice depends on whether or not partner treats an X of 2♠ the same as an X of 1♠. If he does, X; if not 5♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Either way could be right. Give partner a decent hand like x Qxx AQJx KQxxx and 5♥ could go down on a bad break or a club ruff, or x Qxxx Axxx AKxx and 5♥ is in jeapordy, or x QJxx AQxxx Axx and 6♥ could be decent. I'm going to double and just take the money if that's what partner agrees even though that's probably his most likely action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I thought this was a wtp, but a wtp for the minority answer. No one has convinced me otherwise. My partner's never seem to be 1444 when I want them to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
