manudude03 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 No blame here (well, I blame East :P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicklont Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I blame the second double. 4S would have worked and it was planned from the start to double and then show spades. Although South is forced one level higher then he expected he should have sticked with his plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 South, I would bid 4S over 4H showing a good flexible hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 switch a north's spade with a west's club and 4♥X goes 500 against downs in 4♠ then everyone would bame south for not doubling a second time :D Not much blame to go around really.

JLOGIC Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 We had basically the same auction at MP (I was south), didn't even consider charging myself for the 2nd double, I mean...wtf. My dad also had the same auction (he was EW). Dan Wolkowitz had the auction 2H X 4H (lol) p p and asked me if he should bid 4S or double and I said I think not doubling is absurd. I just mean, I think this is standard. Sometimes ***** happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 switch a north's spade with a west's club and 4♥X goes 500 against downs in 4♠ then everyone would bame south for not doubling a second time :D 5♣ would be making then, despite the 4-0 break. Maybe we'd be blaming North for not converting 4♠ to 5♣? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 5♣ would be making then, despite the 4-0 break. Maybe we'd be blaming North for not converting 4♠ to 5♣?But then someone would construct a 6133 hand that is off three tricks in either spades or clubs?

whereagles Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 ye olde lore "when in doubt... 4♠ over 4♥" would have worked here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
