Phil Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 QJx x KJxxx AQJx r/w swiss (1♥) - dbl - (2♥) - 4♠(5♥) - ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'd bid 5♠. I believe my honors are well placed for the offense. +650 is way better than +500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Pass is forcing here ? If yes I pass encouraging P to bid (and showing shortness). If not I also pass. I don't think my hand is that much better than normal t/o double partner expects (he can count his ♥ too probably expecting stiff) and he could be stretching already hoping they will go higher.

Fluffy Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 pass if its forcing, if its not double to show extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 So far this thread is really weird to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 pass if its forcing, if its not double to show extras.oh! I didn't realize partner was not allowed to bid 4♠ with [hv=s=sktxxxxhxxdqxckxx]133|100|[/hv] :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiddity Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Partner's jump is preemptive/offensive, we're r/w and have only 3-card support, and it's not even matchpoints. I would just pass and I don't think it's forcing. edit: after some thought I don't like this answer any more. I think double is right. I have 2 quick tricks and some quacks on the side and partner probably has some values for the r/w 4♠. If he has the right hand we might get this 2 or even 3. We might get the SA, two clubs, a club ruff, and a diamond for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I think that 5S is clear given our four card support and heart void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I think that 5S is clear given our four card support and heart void. ROFL. Hanped. No way in the world is pass forcing here. I thought this was a question of whether to pass or to double, I'd light em up since I have so much defense in the minors and shortish spades and they are likely to just be saving at this vul, and someone has to double them.

Phil Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Pard doubled this. I pulled with AKxxxxx Jxx x xx. KC off and they found the shift at T2. Same auction same result at other table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'd pass, which is obviously NOT forcing. Dbl is a close second, but I don't like my hand that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Dbl and lead the heart. 5♠ seems a long way off, so I'll just take the money. Where are their tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
