andy_h Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 You are South, dealer at unfavourable, holding: [hv=d=s&v=n&s=sxxhakj9xdqxcakqx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] You open 1♥ and auction goes: 1♥ - (Pass) - Pass - (2♠) (6+♠, int-ish) (Opponents are now silent throughout) You now decide to double and partner bids 2NT, scrambling or aka 2 places to play. Rightly or wrongly, you bid 3♣ and this is passed back to partner who bumps it to 4♣. Your bid. Partner is a very good player but you are not sure how far he would go with responding light, albeit unfavourable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zheddh Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Partner doesn't seem to have spade shortness or else i guess we would have seen more bidding from opponents. I pass. Hope 4C makes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I pass, playing him for something like xxx - Kxxxx JTxxx. Would raise if I was 1534 with this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I'm reasonably certain we have 2 spade losers and a diamond loser. So I guess the question is whether we play partner for ♥xx, ♦K and ♣J? Not totally unreasonable, but we're still likely to go down. I just pass.

fachiru Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Nobody likes being in 4♣.But bidding on feels wrong here as prd. would almost certainly have responded earlier with an ace.I pass reluctanlty and hope to make it.

Maybe partner can pass it!!!!!!!!!!!! xxx Q Kxxx xxxxx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
