waubrey Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Ok, my partner and I are sitting EW. Here is the bidding... No one is vulnerable. W-N-E-S P-1C-P-2SP-P-X-P How do you interpret the double and what do you do with this hand as West? ♠AQ94♥K65♣1076♦QJ2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFA Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Pass. Partner's double is for takeout, but he should have overcalled 1Red if he had a five card suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Takeout and incredibly obvious pass, scrambling to a known 4-3 fit makes no sense when your spades are this good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Takeout and incredibly obvious pass, scrambling to a known 4-3 fit makes no sense when your spades are this good. If I had to bet I'd bet on clubs being a 5-3 fit unless partner is 1444. Anyways pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Pass. X is a reopening, not surprisingly he is short in spade and does notwant to let them play on the 2 level.As it is, he choose to pass to give you the option to convert, if he hadno interest what soever to play 2Sx, e.g. with a shapely 5413 hand, and without a lot of outside defence,, he should have bid 2NT. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 lead ♣Q You don't have ♣Q. If you look at the suit symbols in the original post, you'll see that partner's hand is AQ94 K65 QJ2 1076. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREYMOON Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hmmmm...the concensus seems to think PASS is the best bid here. Although PASS seems very enticing and the VULNERABILTY is not very condusive to further bidding, I would want to count my defence tricks. I think 3NT our way may be a little more superior contract if partner does not many CLUBS. It surely looks like the 2S bidder is very short in the red suits, which makes it a little tough to defend if partner has no spades. Note, we got to take 8 tricks to yield a good score. +500 for 3 down. Can we do this? I am not too sure. Think again! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I don't know how to put it differently: Dbl is takeout, just pass on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
