gnasher Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 [hv=d=n&v=n&s=sakqjhj742dk96cq8]133|100|Scoring: MP1♥ (5♣)[/hv]Sorry - I got the vulnerability wrong on this one: we were at adverse. It seems better to start another thread rather than pollute the quite interesting discussion about what to do at game-all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I suppose at adverse double is easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyams Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'd choose 5♥ at this vulnerability. I have no way of trying for a slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 5 ♥, too many clubs for 6 HEart, too many hearts for double a non vul. weak jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 X. Too many losers for 5H and the C doubleton is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'd choose 5♥ at this vulnerability. I have no way of trying for a slam. 5♥ is trying for a slam. I expect partner to raise with good hands. I don't bid at the five-level (especially at these colours) over a preempt hoping for a minus. Therefore if partner has a trick more than expectation she should start thinking of raising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I hate not raising with support, sometimes partner has a monster that just needs fit and lettle extra for slam or even more. So 5♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have been persuaded that 5♥ was better in the other thread (all vul), but I think I still double at this vul. :) On the one hand we have more work to do to get 800 (4 down instead of 3 down), on the other hand RHO will have their bid much less often at this vulnerability. So not only are we very likely to take more tricks in defence, but - since RHO won't always have AKJTxxxx of clubs - the chance of partner having wasted club honors (with correspondingly fewer heart/diamond honors) has increased, so 5♥ will go down more often. I agree that a factor in favor of bidding 5♥ is the possibility of bidding slam, maybe that should be enough to make 5♥ worth while, but I still double.

the hog Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I hate not raising with support, sometimes partner has a monster that just needs fit and lettle extra for slam or even more. So 5♥. In that case partner will bid again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 5H wtp? +1.I think we make very often and sometimes if we don't they do.To me the choice is between 5♥ and 6♥. Doubling sounds like a joke to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Passing sounds like a joke to me. Who suggested that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
