gwnn Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 just a little ATB for a change. [hv=d=s&v=n&n=s9hq1054dkj1052c963&s=skqj10754hd984cak4]133|200|Scoring: IMP1♠-1NT-p-2♦3♠-p-p-4♥p-p-x-end which is a double doubled game swing[/hv] well we got lucky with out teammates who got a +590 but it really should have been a doubled double game swing because almost everybody in the field was playing 4♠x=.

kenrexford Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Just a guess, but maybe South? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Just a guess, but maybe South? actually I think it is both instead of bidding 3♠ South could have called 4♠ and I think North's double of 4♥ is risky in front of what could be a 7 card suit.

olliebol Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 South must have thought he showed his hand to partner. That was wrong. defending 4 ♥ with the south hand looks masochistic to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliebol Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 It looks like south didnt want to hog 4♠ all by himself after 4♥. You always learn to dont do that but on this hand dont be surprised if it is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONEferBRID Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Opener could warn partner: 1♠-1NT-p-2♦!3♥! = self splinter w/extra ♠ length Of course it also warns the opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I don't think N should dbl 4♥, although it's understandable. South bidding is ok IMHO. I don't like a self-splinter, it's too big an advantage for LHO being able to double (or not) 3♥. I would probably have bid 4♠ myself but 3♠ is fine.

aguahombre Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 4s, instead of 3S would show just about this hand in our style --after 1S opening and no help from pard. Not a Namyats 4D opening because this 8-trick hand is composed of 2 real o/s tricks. The big advantage is making it harder for pard to double 4H ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I'm sure south would normally bid 4S but hated his xxx in diamonds. Meh, it is conservative but probably reasonable (when I think of hands that will pass 3S few make game on a diamond lead etc), but after they bid 4H south has to bid 4S I think, not that bidding like this is very conventional lol.

kenrexford Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I might also have opened 4♠, or 4♦ NAMYATS, or even 2♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I won't blame anyone..I would surely pass 4 Heart as south, I have two defensive tricks, I would bet on a spade ruff and/or some other tricks in partners hand. I would double or pass with the North hand, no big difference. So maybe we should talk about a direct 4 Spade (or a namyats 4 Diamond) opening or a 4 spade bid after 2 Diamond. Sorry this would not show this hand for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
