Get owned with me

[Simplicity]

Format is Butler IMPs, you are playing strong NT 4cM (a 001 system i believe). Here a few that might be interesting, but dont worry whatever you do you're sure to be stuffed this evening.

 

1. ♠AKQT8 ♥7652 ♦AJ ♣Q8. w/r 3rd seat P-(1♦*)-1♠-(P); 2♠-(P)-?

 

*1♦ was precision style

 

2. ♠JTx ♥xxx ♦Kxxxx ♣KJ. LHO deals r/w P-1N-2♦*-?

 

*2♦ was single suited overcall in an unspecified suit

3. ♠KJ974 ♥K4 ♦AJx ♣852. w/w RHO deals (1♣*)-1♠-(x)-2♥; (3NT)-AP.

 

1♣ was strong, x a negative (0-4 HCP) - your lead.

 

4. ♠Kxxx ♥AKTx ♦Jxx ♣xx. r/r you deal 1♥-(p)-1♠-(5♣) ; p-(p)-x-(p) ; ?

 

5. ♠xx ♥J9x ♦AJxxx ♣Jxx w/w RHO deals (1♥*)-P-(2♥)-x ; (4♥)-?

 

*10-15 precision

1) Pass, but I play that partner's range is about 5-8.

2) 2D = either major? Anyway I would pass.

3) Was double negative as in 0-7 or negative as in 4 hearts? I would lead the HK anyway.

4) Pass.

5) Pass.

1) I would try for game, whatever my most generic game try is.

2) I would double - presumably this shows values.

3) ♥K I guess. Definitely not leading a spade.

4) Pass

5) Bidding seems like a strange position to me. Partner is still there. If he has a big hand, we'll hear from him again.

1: 2N, definitely worth a game try for me.

 

2: I would invite game, in my style that is X for values.

 

3: HK

 

4: Pass, my partner is unlikely to have heart support so I like my AK of hearts for defense.

 

5: easy pass

1. 3♥ - (semi) natural, invite.

2. Double , showing inv+ values , with some hope of doubling them.

3. ♥K

4. PASS , too balanced to bid on the 5 level.

5. PASS , too balanced to bid on the 5 level.

1. 4♠.

2. dbl and 2NT next I suppose.

3. ♥K

4. Pass. Hope for +200 or +500 vs -100.

5. Pass. 5♦ if he doubles again I guess.

[Codo]

1. Game try whatever you play, mine would be 2 NT.

 

2. X to show values. It does not show values but diamonds? Ok, still X.

 

3. ♥K, what else? Of course you asked so you need to lead something else. I guess a diamond beats it.

 

4. +5 pass

[MFA]

I would bid/lead like Codo and JLOGIC.

(On these 5 hands, that is...)

[P_Marlowe]

#1 Playing standard raises, I would make an inv. move., say 2NT.

We play the raise as 4-7, so this would be a pass for us.

#2 Depends on agreement, but X seems a good bid, to find out more.

#3 spade, 4th best

#4 Pass, why did I open?

#5 Pass, ...

 

With kind regards
