MickyB Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Does North steal South's girlfriend or something? Hmm? Take it you don't think 3♦ is 4th suit there then :lol: Sorry, guess I should have stated that in my original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 assume south was smoking his sox while passing 4th suit doubled with a void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it you don't think 3♦ is 4th suit there then :lol: Sorry, guess I should have stated that in my original post. Well you did state 2♥ was GF, so obviously I had reason to believe 3♦ was natural. By the way, if 3♦ is some sort of 4SF punt / stall, then I would say South not only stole North's girlfriend, he also knocked her up :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 3D is not natural lol. Don't like the 2S bid at all, just bid 3D ez game (I would not be playing 3N ever after 1S-2H with the north hand). Passing the double does not say let's play there, even if it suggested it you cannot play there unredoubled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I don't get the lols for south pass. He was not in the pass out seat, so why shouldn't he pass to show a message. I wonder however, which message he tried to send. I had bid 3 Heart to show my 6. heart, but I do not know the style of this particular N/S. To play 3 diamond X in an absolute misfit hand with enough HCPS for game was not the worst idea from North either. Okay after the double the major suit slam was quite good. But this was hard to judge after the start of the bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billw55 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Funny one. I say mostly north. South's pass is not an offer to play. It basically says, "I have nothing else to say" - which is not true, south has not shown ♠Jx support yet. But north's passout is even stranger.

Hanoi5 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 How can North be to blame? Unless Pass shows a void or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 How can North be to blame? Unless Pass shows a void or something. hmm, I will try to understand north: If I am sitting north, I assume south's pass says "I have nothing else to say". Which to me means: less than two spades (no spade raise) and less than 6 hearts or clubs (no rebids in those suits). So South looks like maybe 1525 or so, possibly 1534. In which case, I guess 3♦x will have some play. And since there are only 7-card major fits anyway (so it seems), why not play for only 9 tricks instead of 10, and score more on top of it? Maybe because the bad trump break is already known? And I would certainly expect a redouble to be removed by south. hmmm ... Anyway I guess north may have some reason to pass after all. So maybe I change my blame to mostly south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I don't play 4SF by opener so 3♦ is nat or semi-nat. I said mostly south because north should redouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
