Fluffy Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I pass, not very convinced, on a good day we set this one by 2 tricks, but if partner is stretching to double with his 6034 or 5044 and 13 HCP or so this contract is a favourite to make.

jjbrr Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I've gone for 730 before, and I'm willing to risk it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 but if partner is stretching to double with his 6034 or 5044 and 13 HCP or so this contract is a favourite to make. I don't think partner is the one who stretched, unless she failed to notice the fact that my previous call was green, not red. The opponents have overstepped, and are getting slapped.

mcphee Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I do not expect partner to have doubled with a minimum hand type and one of the bids they should consider is I may pass this double. On a bad day they might make when declarer has shape along with a working dummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooltuna Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Same as Archie, Peyton, Eli, and Drew only in my case at the table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I passed but wasn't the least bit comfortable. The play is tricky, but I'm not sure it can be made. We ended up +200. Partner's hand was AQxxx, void, AQxx, Qxxx. Dummy was: JTxxx, QTx, J9xx, A and is surely cracking 3♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 yeah he will crack 3♠ but maybe we dodge to clubs then. That's one of the main reasons to pass 3♥X, any strain could be right, even diamonds, and we won't know wich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 depends on how the cracking is made, but I was planning to eventually skip to clubs :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
