Fluffy Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 doh, I was thinking 1 was 2's dummy untill I saw the club duplication :P first I would try an unimaginative 3♥. Last time I saw this bidding, partner had 5035 and 3♥ was not a success. Lets hope it is better this time. On the secon I like double wich gives partner many chances of getting the blame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I would pass and don't think either is close (partner is a passed hand and we're red/white!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 [ ] few[x] couple pass 'em. i think the first is closer than the second, except bidding sucks on the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy_h Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Pass and pass.The first one I've learnt enough times from the forums.The second one is a bit tempting with the void.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 1. I passed on the first and collected an unexpected 800. Pard had a very *ahem* unusual negative double holding AKxxx x QT AJxxx. I still don't know what I'm doing over 3♠, but I was happy to collect 800. 2. Wow, I didn't think passing was so obvious. I chose 4N, but I think double has a lot going for it too. LHO pushed to 5♥ and pard bid a (very) questionable 6♣ holding Axx xx Q9x T9xxx. -200? No, diamonds went 4-1, so we were -500 for an average minus. Spades were also 6-1, so slam is cold NS. I would be interested in a sim. Assume to passes, and then 7-8♥ and 8-14 points. Does this sound like reasonable constraints for a 3rd chair green 4♥ opener? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
