NickRW Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I suppose I can think of a layout where we don't have it beat and the bids make some sense - but ?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Nobody at least worried about the fact that double is not a penalty double and partner has club shortness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdanno Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Of course partner will pull our double. We could go down in 5H, or make when he pulls to his 6-card suit. I think the odds beat playing for +150 or +200, but it does seem close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Nobody at least worried about the fact that double is not a penalty double and partner has club shortness? That rather depends on your agreements, no? Many play negative doubles through 4D over a 1H opening and barrage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rather depends on your agreements, no? Many play negative doubles through 4D over a 1H opening and barrage. If the original posters was playing unusual agreements, he would have told us so. So double is not penalty, and partner can pull with wild shape (in particular, he will pull with any hand that has a club void). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 +150 was enough for 78% matchpoints, however partner had a club!, and would probably pass the double ♠109xxx♥xxx♦xxxx♣x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
