hanp Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I hate multi, except when my opponents play it. Yesterday I had A10xx Ax xx A10xxx, everybody vulnerable at MPs. 2D - p - 2H - pp - Dbl - p - 3Dp - p - ?? 3D was explained as probably showing values. What should I do?

655321 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I think you should do exactly what you would have done if the auction had been 2H - Dbl - p - 3D (probably showing values)p - p - ?? which is 3♥ for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Just to make it clear, can partner have 5 cards here? It is the Netherlands after all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicklont Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Just to make it clear, can partner have 5 cards here? It is the Netherlands after all... No.In first or second seat my Dutch partner ands opponents hold 6 hearts. What is it with our reputation? Are we such unsound bidders?

helene_t Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 No.In first or second seat my Dutch partner ands opponents hold 6 hearts. What is it with our reputation? Are we such unsound bidders? In Mumbai, Shogi (Dutch) and I played against a pair of Indian internationals. Shogi opens 3♣. Opp asks me if it is a Dutch or an English preempt. I said we played rather sound preempts for Dutch standards. Shogi appears to have 10 points an a good 7-card clubs. Opp says he refuses to believe Shogi is Dutch, he never saw a Dutch player preempt with more than 5 HCPs before. OK, I suppose that was off-topic since the query was about HCPs not about suit length.

IMO you should start trying to figure out how you can take 5 defensive tricks. Along those lines my inclination is to try and give partner a ♣ ruff.

Jlall Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Seems like it depends a lot on your preempting style. For me the choice is between double and 3H, double really seems like too much of a crap shoot given that I expect to make 3H a very large portion of the time, so I'd bid 3H.

Free Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I don't see what your problem has to do with multi. If Han's partner would've opened 2♥ (which is NF), Han's RHO would've had to act immediately and risk his neck. Now he was able to wait a round, see what happens, and Dbl a lot more safely.
