pooltuna Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I X again.I'll take this bus if it still has a seat :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'll take this bus even standing. Thnaks for that idiom.I see no problem. Hope partner has 4-5 spades too weak to come in before.Correcting 3C to 3D gets 4s with 5+D and this level strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Actually another DBL may work much better, especially if they are red. I kinda don't like my initial 3♦ reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Prefer 3D to double by quite a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I think double is perfect. Hopefully we play 2N as scrambling, will implies the minors, and this hand gets very good. Further, if partner bids clubs, we likely don't have any future in diamonds, and this is a good dummy. Lebensohl would also be nice here, but I don't know anyone that plays it like this.

OleBerg Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 [hv=pc=n&w=sak96hdakt965ckt3]133|100[/hv] 1♥ Dbl 2♥ PassPass ? Do you agree with the bidding so far? No, I'd have started with 2♦. Then my second double would have described my hand perfectly. As it is, I bid i reluctant 3♦. There's a limit to how long I suppress a good 6-cardsuit in a strong hand.

MrAce Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 No, I'd have started with 2♦. Then my second double would have described my hand perfectly. As it is, I bid i reluctant 3♦. There's a limit to how long I suppress a good 6-cardsuit in a strong hand. My first 3♦ response was for the same reason you stated. OP did not say the vulnerability or scoring, but i think it is important here, especially vulnerability. White vs Red DBL seems perfect to me, i have a lot to bring to table in defense, if pd has good hearts. But if we are red and they white, i would like to lean more towards game by for our side with a good hand and a good 6 card ♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboxley Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I brought this up because at our table my pd bd 3♦. Now responder bid 3♥ and I wasn't sure if pd had 4 spades. The auction continued P P Dbl P? My hand was [hv=pc=n&e=st842hk984d654c32]133|100[/hv]I'm not sure of the spots except hearts because the site is having problems. I chose to pass, we beat it one for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) I think that: Double then double shows 3-4 spades Double then 3♦ doesn't promise any spade length, but won't usually have four2♦ then 2♠ shows four spades 2♦ then double typically has three spades Edited March 1, 2011 by gnasher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 your pass with 3 diamonds is wrong, too many diamonds on your side for double to be profitable, 4♦ or perhaps 3♠ are much better bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboxley Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 No, I'd have started with 2♦. Then my second double would have described my hand perfectly. I understand what you are saying but it is a bit naive. Trade the ♠A for a small ♠ and you might bid it the same way. How about trading a ♠ honor (or a small ♠) for a small ♥? I personally would never expect my pd to be this big for a balancing double after an overcall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
