aguahombre Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 If I had the sandwich available and didn't use it, will partner think strange thoughts if I double, now? If not, then I double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 If I had the sandwich available and didn't use it, will partner think strange thoughts if I double, now? If not, then I double. No he won't. He will judge that your hand didn't warrant initial action in a potential no-fit auction. Whether or not it does now is a matter of opinion. At MPs this is an easy balance. At IMPs, I think this is very tough. I think many would balance and many wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 At MPs this is an easy balance. At IMPs, I think this is very tough. I think many would balance and many wouldn't. I think it's safer to bid at IMPs. For it to be a disaster, they have to double us and take us down two. At matchpoints, either one down doubled or two down undoubled is a disaster. But I'd balance at either form of scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dake50 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Do opponents near always take the push? Balance anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Looks like an easy double to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Agree with the previous bidding but I would always balance with this. The vulnerability only matters when you don't make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
