Bidding 2♥ could be done on lesser 5-5 Majors hands, and less suited for defense than this hand.Double tells partenr, you have a real good hand, suitable for defense, probably (almost sure) a 4 card ♥ and 5 spades. Without fit, and with some ♣ he can pass.Double is really descriptive here..... far the best bid.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdano Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 4♣, one last stab before just giving upWow, first time in quite a while I disagree with a post by Adam. Trying for slam is a huge overbid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 What the hell is 4♣ anyway? I would double, but I doubt it will be the last decision I will have to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtvesuvius Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Yeah I'm having a few second thoughts about that :P I thought my hand was AKJxxx AKxx AJx -, I think 4♠ is probably enough now, no way partner can have exactly what we need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayin801 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 X and 4♠ are super duper obvious. For the record, you hold Qx, x, 109xxxx, xxxx or better yet Qx, 109xxxx, x, xxxx, and the auction starts with partner and goes 1♠-(2♣)-P-(3♣)-X-(P)-?, are we definitely missing our decent slam? I know this is a wild construction but... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is a wild construction but... :P Well, if I hold Qx 109xxxx x xxxx I'm not bidding 3S over partner's double. That's a good 4H bid.With Qx x 109xxxx xxxx I'll probably bid 4C to look for the best game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
