dellache Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Having a void in all suits, I suppose I can pick any splinter now. Edit: now that we see our cards I'd Double again, showing values. I'll then pass 2♥, and bid some NT otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 i'd pass, i don't understand why i doubled in the first place. the shape is all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 a vanilla auction but what now? no one vul at imps (p) p (1!d) x(p) 1!h (2!c) ? OOPS!!!! here's your hand KT95 AQ9 AQ4 KJ3 unlike many of the clowns out there who bid 2♥ with any minmal TOX hand that has 4♥ I actually promise xtra values when I bid 2♥ probably a little conservative for some but I think I need to give partner some leeway as transportation rates to be problematic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically you promise 3 card support for any suit partner has. I would X with 6 HCP fewer and the same shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdanno Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I double a second time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 dbl shows this hand. OK four clubs would be better but at least I have two honours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Double again, it's std this shows extra with 3 in the suit partner bid. The only other option is 2NT but that seems dangerous if partner has very little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I'm sure I'd bid 2NT at the table but it's probably neater to double to show extras and 3 cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 X. Should show the strong bal. hand, if p passes the worstthat can happen is 2CX=, if he bids on, I will be fine as well.It does not even matter, what p thinks the X to be. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Double there is no other option at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I don't think double promises the 18+ balanced hand. You could also have a 4315 or 4324 16-count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelm Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Okay, I have already Double....Does a 2D cue now followed by a 2NT suggestion (e.g. if partner rebids hearts) strikes you all that bad...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 It strikes me as an overbid. If you want to suggest notrump, you could bid 2NT now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchTsch Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 DBL I would rather play 2♥ than 2NT.If partner can make a move then I have an easy 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
