gnasher Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I might have bid 2♦ on the second round, to avoid this problem. Showing a strong one-suiter is probably less of a distortion than showing a strong takeout double of spades. From where we are now, pass seems the only possible action.

woefuwabit Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Partner would have passed the double with anything more than 4 points, so you're not missing a game. Partner is possibly going to be playing a 4-2 fit, but bidding 3♦ now will be overstating your hand. I'd pass first and pull to 3♦ if doubled.

Cyberyeti Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I wish I was playing with the partner that I played a 15-20 1N overcall with, but realistically you have to double first time. I think I'd bid 2♦ second time, but if I doubled, I must pass 2♥ here, I've shown a big hand and partner hasn't bid more than 2♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 [hv=d=e&v=b&s=sa74hq8dakq42ca74]133|100|Scoring: XIMP[/hv] (1♠) - X - (1NT) - Pass(Pass) - X - (Pass) - 2♥(Pass) - ? Agree so far? What now? Bidding looks fine. Does partner know he could pass the second X? If so then I have to consider the possibility of a psyche but in all likelyhood I will just pass.

Jlall Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Easiest pass ever. Would have bid 2D last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Yes 2♦ last time, in fact I prefer pass to another double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
