kfay Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 QJ10x x AKQxxx xx Imps, unfavorable 1st seat you decide to open 1D and it goes 1D - (4H) - P - (P) to you. Lho is a bit of an unknown quantity because he's been off the bridge scene for a while but by all accounts he used to be pretty good.

pooltuna Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 QJ10x x AKQxxx xx Imps, unfavorable 1st seat you decide to open 1D and it goes 1D - (4H) - P - (P) to you. Lho is a bit of an unknown quantity because he's been off the bridge scene for a while but by all accounts he used to be pretty good.He is still good as you have just been presented with an ugly guess and good players excel at that. Is partner capable of doubling with 2 A in the unbid suit? If not I would risk 4♠ as there are many hands that make with a fit and any 2 of AK♠, A♥,A♣ certainly even [hv=s=sxxxxxhxxdxxxcaqx]133|100|[/hv] has odds on play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Blah this hand sucks so much. FML and pass I guess. Bridge is hard lately. Can't believe I'm about to lose a double game swing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'd double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Wow I think pass is completely auto, what am I missing? Obviously though if you act it's double, 4♠ is a bit of a lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 When fixed, stay fixed. Pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 If I'm playing my normal game I'll pass, but this is the kind of hand that if I were tilted or tired, or something else I'd bid. Which may be right, but it probably isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're not missing this and you mean "pass is completely percentage" but the biggest downside to me is we could easily be on for 4S and defending 4H. Some of that time 4H will even make too. Generally in those cases it's right to bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Double for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Does partner expect 5xS if I try 4S? Ie 6D 5S? Or 4S = 6D 4xS and big offense hand? I always open 5xS, so only 4xS is possible, and 5D clear if no 3+S. No C interest possible. How could partner distinguish this 6Dsolid4xS with at most DA likely DT from semi-bal 18 if I double?

Codo Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I would double and pray for a 4 spade bid from partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 my gut feeling was to bid 4♠. But analysing a bit further, if partner has a penalty pass this is gonna suck so much landing into a the 800 hazzard. And this is the most likelly scenario. I am gonna pass and even rate double over 4♠ wich was my first reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
