Nilz Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 If you bid 3H and then double the second time, what should the double mean? Very strong and balanced? Takeout with good hearts (and a better hand than this)? Or pure penalty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 maximum and takeout shape, something like a 15-count 1633 maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Pass and pass, for me. Kxx in spades is NOT what I want to have for a 3H bid. Nor do I like having a second king under the 1S opener. It was a nice 2H overcall, if it went 1S-p-1NT to me or something. But that was the limit. Maybe at imps you can get away with 3H here since people dont try to whack one-trick sets much, I don't know. At MP I don't think it's a close decision at all.

655321 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 3♥ and pass. Bidding looks normal to me at any form of scoring. But we are w/w at MP, passing and submitting to -110 or more has to be particularly bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 3H and pass also. Not a close decision for either call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilz Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thanks for the replies...I chose 3H and double. Maybe I had a couple of spades in with my clubs, whatever. Let's call the second double 'aggressive' rather than 'insane'.Anyway, my partner had ♠3♥QT4♦T9762♣QT73He misinterpreted my second double, and passed. 3S*+1. Not a great score. I assume based on the responses that partner should've bid 4H? That goes a couple off on best defence, so -170 in 3S is the best score we had available, so I should've passed.But it seems like neither of us bid particularly well.

hanp Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Let's call the second double 'aggressive' rather than 'insane'. I don't know what this sentence means, but I wouldn't call it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I would call the second double "wrong", not aggressive or insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 yes, partner should had pulled the double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
