mikeh Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 If my hand were a little different, it would help to know what my agreements are in terms of partner's pass. I suggest that when posting a hand and asking for 'what do you do?' you should give us the information that you had at the time, and knowing what partner's pass showed (presumably either not much at all or a penalty double type of hand) is something that you knew....and we don't. Having said that, this hand is so bad that I don't see any problem at all: pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he passes it is less than GF or (rarely) awkward shape or penalty double. Btw, if the preempt had been 2S am I still passing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully if any action creates a GF partner is still willing to stretch to make a call and isn't stuck bidding only on 8 or more points. Hopefully this is not your agreement over 2♠ as well. I would pass in my methods, in yours I'm more tempted to X (anything else is insane) but I still like pass a little better, maybe +200 will be a good score, and sometimes righty has a good hand too. Over 2♠ this is an auto-X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
