gszeszycki Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 assuming p has a spade stack I need p to take 4 tricks if we X or 5 tricks w/o Xalso assuming I get two tricks with dia AK(in order to score up the magic 200). Not impossible but unlikely. I might x with this hand if I needed a top but would not risk a decent score on such a speculative X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I would double with this, I think we're favourites to beat it if partner leaves it in, and its not the worst hand ever if partner pulls (hopefully not to 3N). It does remind me of a hand I posted about 9 months ago, arguably worse, and yet double still proved to be the winner, not that 1 hand is enough of a sample (hand here!!)

aguahombre Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I would rather bid 6♦ than double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmunte1 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Pass is obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Agree with aquahombre - my 2nd choice is 6♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Pass, I'm surprised this isn't unanimous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 While I am a big proponent for protecting partner this is not the hand for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crunch3nt Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Double is automatic. Partner can beat this on his own. We know this from RHO failure to act. Partner has 5 trumps and a good hand or 4 trumps and a great hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 pass is automatic. If partner holds 4 Spades in a great hand, we would be playing 3 NT already.If partner has a real penalty double, we pay. But with any other hand we won't get overboard like the overbidders...
