jdonn Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Actually it was favorable at mps, but I was interested in answers for not just that particular situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I am so tempted to pass this out -- I am not so sure i want to defend a heart partial here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I pass. Licking my chops at 100 a trick. OK, I'll settle for a plus. :D 2♦ is nucking futz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 yep. Often best to just count the spades I have. There are some hands with spade length which shouldn't pass it, but this is not one of them.Another companion hand for the guy who had nine hearts to the jack and out?

andy_h Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 The opponents appear to have 10+ hearts, or partner doesn't have much strength. If the latter it doesn't seem we have a fit anywhere and if the former, partner can be 4-3-x-x or 3-2-x-x etc. I don't think 2♦ is that bad but if the opponents do indeed have 10 hearts between them I'm not even sure if I can defeat 4♥ nor do I know if we'll have a good sac if partner is 3-2-x-x or a bad one if 4-3-x-x. I'm going to pass and defend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Pass - Rather defend spades than hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I would also pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woefuwabit Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Partner is maximum 7 points, so you are not going to miss a game unless he had a trap pass hand - highly unlikely. You have a good hand for defending and opps are in their wrong contract. Everything points to a pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Does playing with and against gib change anything? That's where I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Pass. Partner could have something like xx Qxx Qxxxx Kxx and we make 5♦ or maybe 3NT. But it's more likely they can outbid us in hearts. Of course if LHO has psyched and partner has a trap pass this could be a spectacular failure. If the vulnerability and opponent made psyching a decent possibility I might try 2♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Pard is clearly weak with short spades. Opps might have a bucketload of hearts, but I'm gonna risk 2♦. Perhaps pard has xxJTxxxQxxxxx Opps are welcome to play 2♥ here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdanno Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Does playing with and against gib change anything? That's where I got it. Uh yes, because partner might have 5-card support and a singleton?I would still pass though, especially as 2♦ is probably badly defined (i.e., as showing diamonds, not implying longer clubs).

I don't think gib will have that but maybe I'm wrong? More that he would have some hands with 5 or 6 hearts and pass where I think doubling (if not bidding) is automatic. Anyway I bid 2♦ (would pass 100% in real life), lho gib made a rather poor 2♥ bid on a mediocre 5422 hand, and partner was 2632 with KJT8xx of hearts and almost nothing else, so they were in trouble no matter what. They escaped relatively unscathed when rho gib went back to 2♠ on his 2344 and they went down 2 undoubled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
