Jinksy Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I don't remember your hand, but hopefully it shouldn't matter. Bidding goes 1H P 2D 2SP P 3D X How do you understand the x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinksy Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Game all, I think, possibly green to the doubler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I would say that double certainly brings clubs into picture, the doubler should have at least 11 cards in black suits. What system does opponents play? Does 2♦ set up a game force? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWP Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 i really hate this prob: you dont give opps bidding agreements, you dont give my hand. It all doesnt make sense: no 2Nt by prtn na dia support by opps no 3ha by opps: prtn weak with a lot of spades and soem vlubs is he an idiot?? it all doesnt count up only 6 very good 6sp and 4c and opps playing 2 d nf make sense to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 2♠ bid with extra playing strength. We are not going to play 4♣ here very often, but maybe we can find 4♠ or 3♦x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinksy Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 2D wasn't gf, nor was 3D. Hand was played in a casual setting, so opps didn't have much sophistication to their bidding, nor did we. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, X is not penalty, and it should imply secondary club suit (and at least 6 spades). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bidding agreements would be nice, but unless specified we consider sayc. For me this Dbl is takeout oriented, so it shows extra's.

Fluffy Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Bid a suit then double, this always shows the same, a ton of playing strenght. On this bidding it is of the semi-balanced type because he also has 3♠ for the more shapy strenght. A 6322 with 18 scattered HCP (about the half on red cards) its the book bid.

gnasher Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I think it shows 6-4 or longer in the black suits. Being able to show clubs seems more useful than distinguishing between different types of 3♠ bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
