ggwhiz Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 3NT seems far away on this misfit. If I bid on I'm essentially gambling on finding partner with 3 card hearts AND enough for game. Very unlikely Most of these hands are defending 4♠ doubled. Assuming you have to play more imp hands against this pair now or in the future, +150 is extremely wussy. What do you guys think partner should do after the double with: x xx AKJxxxxx Axx ? Pard will bid 5♦ and (usually) make it or go down one. Well within the 40% or so tolerance for a red game, not to mention the longshot double game swing possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mohitz Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Oh sorry. Here is the full hand [hv=d=w&v=n&n=saxhtxxdakqxxxcxx&w=sqjxxxhkxdtxxctxx&e=sktxhxxxdjxxcakqx&s=sxxxhaqj9xdxcj9xx]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] I chose to pass. They played 4S down 2. We have 4H cold. If we double, partner would likely pass. So, i guess double is the winner here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
