Crunch3nt Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 11 tricks in 5S now seems a low percentage. Partner needed to bid 5S, not me. I have an Ace so I double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'd pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 What do we give partner? Akxx,x,xx,AKQxxx? Can he hold much less? And 6 Spade is on a 2-1 break.Make it Kxxx, x,xxx,AQjxx and 11 tricks still can be made and this is surely no double of 4 Heart. I see a big fit with them and a big double fit for us. There is no way I would pass or double. I think I settle just for 5 Spade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerclee Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I think pass and double are pretty crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkdood Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 What do we give partner? Akxx,x,xx,AKQxxx? Can he hold much less? So AKx KTx x KQJ876 or similar is a clear pass of 4H?(QTxxxx x xxxx xx would make a 4s call pretty nice, if a X was the choice.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OleBerg Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 5♠ seems easy. The contract is even rightsided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 More afraid to miss 6 than 5S go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 It's obvious right either to bid or to double; I don't believe 5H both makes and we go for more than 500. I only pass if this is a qualification for something and an average-ish board will do for us. I bid 5S. But I may be influenced by too much play at aggregate where it's obviously right to bid.

Fluffy Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think partner would double 5♥ if he had a highly defensive hand (for example having 2 spades), the honnor allocation is bad, but the only excuse for 5 over 5 is double fit, and here we have 2* 9+ card fits!, so I'd go for 5♠.

cherdanno Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I don't think partner can have a doubleton spade. I thought he made a takeout double of 4H!Did I misread the auction?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is strong enough to double 4H with 2236 for takeout, he is strong enough to double 5H for penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
