Hello, this is the first thread in the big poll. Please provide the most probable result after East opens 1♠ and you either

 

a) pass

b) double

c) bid 2♥.

 

Please do a cross imp result like:

 

a-b:

a-c:

b-c:

 

(a-c means the imps a wins over c)

 

Thanks :) Please try to do all 30 hands also :)

[manudude03]

a)

1♠-P-1NT-P

2♥-P-3♣-AP

 

♦AK, heart to ace, small diamond ruffed and overuffed, spade to the 9 (but pre-empted with ace), diamond ruffed. Declarer takes 5 clubs, 2 diamond ruffs, a spade and a heart.

 

NS -110

 

b )

1♠-X-2♣-AP

 

Same play, NS -110

 

c)

1♠-2♥-X-AP

 

singleton spade led and overtaken with T and Ace. ♦ AK and heart to the ace, diamond ruffed and overruffed, dummy's last trump gets drawn and top spades played declarer ruffing the Q. ♦Q played and held. club goes to East's Ace, last trump played and plays the ♠J.

 

Declarer takes 3 diamonds, 1 spade, 3 trumps.

 

NS -200

 

a vs b: flat

a/b vs c: a/b wins 3 imps

 

Might try the other 29 when I get some food.

a: E/W play 3♣ after a forcing notrump auction. Only eight tricks; N/S + 50.

b: E/W buy it for 2♣ and make. N/S -90.

c: N/S play 2♥X after west's negative X is floated. N/S -200.

 

a-b = 4 IMPs (140)

a-c = 6 IMPs (250)

b-c = 3 IMPs (110)

a: E/W play 3♣ after a forcing notrump auction. Only eight tricks; N/S + 50.

b: E/W buy it for 2♣ and make. N/S -90.

c: N/S play 2♥X after west's negative X is floated. N/S -200.

 

a-b = 4 IMPs (140)

a-c = 6 IMPs (250)

b-c = 3 IMPs (110)

Yes, I agree.

 

However, if I held the East hand, I'd be to scared about passing 2Hx in sequence (c.) . I will bid 2S given the solid suit. Also, I'd take a 3C bid now by partner as forcing -- so West hand will have to pass 2S. 2S = N/S score -110

 

a-b = 4 IMPs (140) to N/S

a-c = 4 IMPs (160) to N/S

b-c = 1 IMP (20) to N/S

[Mbodell]

a: 1nt - 2♥ - 2♠ making 8 tricks for -110

b: 2♣ making 8 tricks for -90

c: X p? I think it is down 2 for -500 (just 3♥, 2♦, 1♠).

 

b-a: 1

a-c: 9

b-c: 10

 

Way too much thinking to do 30 hands like this!

[Codo]

a: 1♠ pass 1NT pass

2♥ pass 3 ♣ all pass -1 (?) +50 Declarer losing at least four tricks outside trump and one trump.

 

B 1♠ X 2 ♣ all pass -110

 

C 1♠ 2♥ X pass pass(?) -200 given a spade, 3 trumps and two clubs.

But maybe they do not pass? And play 2 Spade or 3 Club? So I would give them +50 some time. Overall maybe an -100 on average.

 

So

A:B: +160 4 imps

A:C : +150 4 imps

B:C: + 10 (o imps)

b: E/W buy it for 2♣ and make. N/S -90.

a-b = 4 IMPs (140)

a-c = 6 IMPs (250)

Agree.

[jukmoi]

a)

1♠-pas-1NT-pas

2♥-pas-3C-ap

result -1

 

B)

1♠-dbl-2C-ap

result =

 

c)

1♠-2H-p-ap

result -2 (could be -500 after negative dbl)

 

a-b pas wins dbl 4 imps (140)

a-c pas wins 2H 6 imps (250)

b-c dbl wins 2H 3 imps (110)

 

Not sure if I am heroic enough to do all hands.

I agree with adam except that north raises 2♥ to 3♥, it gets passed out and +200 still.

[gwnn]

a.

1♠-1N

2♥-3♣

+50

 

b.

1♠-x-1NT*-p

2♣-end

-90

 

c.

1♠-2♥-x-end

Looks like it's -200...

 

ab: 4

ac: 6

bc: 3

[jdonn]

a. 1♠ p 1NT p

2♥ p 3♣ ppp

+50

b. 1♠ X 2♣ ppp

-90

c. 1♠ 2♥ X ppp

-200

 

a-b: +4

a-c: +6

b-c: +3

[Dirk Kuijt]

a 2♠ -110

b 3♣ +50

c 2♥ -100

 

so

 

a-b 4IMP

a-c 0 IMP

b-c -4 IMP

[Mbodell]

Jack playing 2001 BWS on championship setting says:

 

a - 3ce= -110

b - 3cw-1 50

c - 3hs-1 -100

 

a-b - -4

a-c - 0

b-c - 4

[Cascade]

2♥ X after an overcall doesnt look very likely to me:

 

1. West - I am not inclined to double with that shape and values

 

2. North has an easy raise to 3♥

 

3. East - I hate passing sitting under the bidder with this hand and values (texture)

 

I think 3♥ passed out is more normal.
