rogerclee Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 What was the double? I would assume takeout but doubling 3H and then doubling 3S is a little unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 This hand as not as red as I expected from the thread title. Anyway P WTP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 so should partner's first double be takeout of hearts and the seconds just penalty? i was REALLY unsure in all the redness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Yes something a lot like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I was undecided and generally afraid so I pulled to 4♥. I got lucky when partner didn't really have a takeout hand 1♦-2NT-p-3♥x-3♠-p-px-p-4♥-4♠6♥ on-AKxxKQTxxAKQJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney26 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Partner's double of 3♠ would make me blue. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I would expect pard to have the 18-19 balanced hand with short spades and/or a 1444 with just about the same strength. I would probably pass here (due to spade wastage). Oh, agree with pard's bidding. I mean... what else can he do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooltuna Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 What was the double? I would assume takeout but doubling 3H and then doubling 3S is a little unusual. I take that to mean you don't have a meta-agreement on doubling p/c bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I would probably pass here (due to spade wastage). Oh, agree with pard's bidding. I mean... what else can he do? He can double 3♠ as a takeout bid because his hand is so good. But he can do just about anything but double 3♠! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 It is super obvious from our hand that partner has a takeout X of spades and penalty X of hearts so your 4H bid is good. In unfamiliar territory don't just bid what you think the bids should mean, try and figure out what's actually going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
