jdonn Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Why would you want double to be takeout anyway? You almost surely already have a 9 card fit, and you almost surely don't have an 8+ card fit in the unbid major, and partner almost surely couldn't pass a takeout double for penalties. It's just a question of 4♣ or pass. I sort of like my chances against this contract, I don't want to go for a number if clubs break badly, and LHO may raise anyway on a weakish hand with heart support. I pass. Chalk 3NT, 5♣, and double up to 'could work but are totally sick'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 If I'm reading this correctly, partner opened 3C w/r. I would say a 6 card suit is very very possible then, maybe even likely? Pass, partner's preempt has probably done it's job. Def do not bid 4C at this vulnerability! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Looks like a 5 or 3 hand to me. I agree with pass as the sane action but bid 5 if I feel lucky or for sure if it's a long imp match. Puts fear and loathing into play for future competitive auctions. Bidding 4c has zero upside and just about gaurantees 4h - p - p back to you. Did I really bid like this to defend 4h down 1 at imps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi, depending how agressive your preepmts white vs. red are, chances, thatyou can make game are low. I voted 4C, but Pass is a good alternative. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
