l milne Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Pass is OK. I don't mind 4♥ either, just to let partner know I have a nice offensive hand for hearts now rather than after 5♦. If partner's double isn't for penalty, I can't really comment as I'm not familiar with t/o doubles here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgr Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Red vs White, you receive: ♠KT9x♥ATxx♦x♣AKxx It goes: 3♦ X 3♥ XPa ??? What do you bid? What's going on?Pass (3♦) X (3♥) X(Pass) Pass (4♦) Pass(Pass) ??What is DBL now? I think it should show exactly this hand: Aces and Kings?(1♦)-X-(1♠)-X(Pass)-Pass-(2♦)-XNormally we play that if opps run from a penalty DBL then all later DBL's are penalty. But that shouldn't apply here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 as l milne I don't mind pass or 4♥, I don't have enough experience on this situations to tell wich one works better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I think I like 4H, just in case LHO bids 5D, which would leave me poorly placed. If I bid 4H and it goes 5D P P to me, I can happily double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 4♥. I'm not good enough for 4♦. Be sure and thank LHO for allowing us chance to both show a good hand with hearts. Don't be an idiot and pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Red vs White, you receive: ♠ KT9x ♥ ATxx ♦ x ♣ AKxx3♦ X 3♥ XPa ???What do you bid? What's going on? IMO _P = 10, 4♥ = 4. A possible problem with bidding 4♥ is that this is an unclear and rare situation. In analogous contexts, taking out partner's double of a suit into the same suit, a level higher, may show a distributional monster with a void in opponent's suit.

Somehow I think you are out of context with a followup post where RHO runs to 4♦ I think at this point in the auction bidding 4♥ rather than passing the X is just insane.
