mr1303 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 [hv=d=e&v=n&s=skqxxxxhaqxxdxcxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] (1C) 1S (2D) 2H(3D) 4H (5C) PP ? In Acol land (opps play 4 card majors and weak NTs) you have the following auction. What say you now? Do you disagree with your previous 4H bid? In case it matters, 2H was natural not forcing (not promising a spade fit) and his pass over 5C is not forcing either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O/D ratio is clear so bid on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I would double, partner's failure to double before suggest he has singleton spade or even doubleton, the hand doesn't fit so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I think its clear to pass. I see its IMPs, but I would even pass at MPs. I guess double is possible, but -2 looks like a longshot to me, and making is possible. Barring something strange like a spade void in partner's hand, we would need one of the minor suit aces to hold this to -1. I'm leading my singleton diamond, and I hope that clubs aren't providing enough pitches for spades. If pard does not have a minor suit ace, 5♥ is -500.

aguahombre Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 yep, everything seems to lead to pass. Lack of defense for double. Am ok with my previous actions, and have nothing else to say for another bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hmm this is a bit interesting. It seems to me that the options are either passing or bidding 5♥ for one of those rare r/w sacrifices. It's a bit hard to construct a hand where everyone is bidding and to have 5♥ as making. Given that our hand will be dummy, it would be clear for the opponents to cash out correctly for example if partner had Ax KJxxxx xxx xx. 5♥ may make if partner has a spade void say with - KJxxxxx Axxx xx or - KJxxxxx Axx xxx but with those hands I would think partner would bid on himself if he has been listening to the auction. I'm not fond of double because the opponents clearly have a double fit and one of them could easily have a heart void. So I think typical hands for partner would be like 1642 or 2632 with KJ and a side K. I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
