gwnn Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 1♠-(4♦)-x-p suppose you are not strong enough to make a slam try. your only two options are pass and 4♥. when would you pass with 5 spades and 4 hearts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Never. Maybe with AKJ or AKQ of diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 with 5440 I would, BTW gwnn you asked how often you pull or how often you pass? ;) ♦QJx would be also good enough to pass for me, ♦KQ maybe ♦Kx also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLOGIC Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I don't understand passing with Kx of diamonds. Yay, we have the diamond king doubleton onside for them, I guess we should pass a takeout double! Seems like it could easily lead to them making 4D X with us cold for 4H. I don't think passing with QJx is good either...maybe if the hand is exactly like A5432 A432 QJ2 2. I guess the vulnerability and form of scoring makes some difference. 99 % of the time you should bid 4H if you have 4 of them imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 To pass with this shape I think you need both bad majors and good defence. ♦Kx in a minimum might mean that you have bad majors, but it won't be much use in defence. The only 5422 I might pass is something like Axxxx xxxx KQ Ax, where I can be pretty sure of beating 4♦ and also wouldn't have great confidence about making 4♥.

gwnn Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 so gnasher how often do you pass with 5-4-3-1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 so gnasher how often do you pass with 5-4-3-1? Probably no more often than with 5422. If you were to change my example to Axxxx xxxx KQx A, I'd pass, but I think that's close to a 4♥ bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I am pulling having slightest excuse. Almot all hands with 4♥ are good for me.I am so easy to bluff and push around :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I am so quick to pull my partner's takeout double with a fit for him and no stack in the opponent's suit :( FYP! There is nothing wrong with this, it's normal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
