quiddity Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'd just bid 3D. 3NT seems like a long shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Double."I have a max for previous neg-X at 2-level."Do you see what to play, partner? Have you 2+DT? S-stop?Offense, not much so 3D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 4D. 3D is the world's biggest underbid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Double. 4D. 3D is the world's biggest underbid. This hand caused some disagreement between me and my friends. I want to double, they want to bid 4♦.I say that partner will never pass the double with something like 3-5-4-1, they say he often will thus I can't double.

gnasher Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I think double would suggest a 3244 11-count. Will partner pass that with four diamonds? Perhaps not that often, but yes he might do. The fact that he doesn't have any of ♦KQ10 will encourage him to defend. I don't see what's wrong with 3♦ here. If I pass, partner will play me for a 3244 7-count. If I bid 3♦, I show my fifth diamond. I have a few more points as well, but I'm aceless, and my club honours are probably opposite a singleton or doubleton. Also, I think partner is limited by his 2♦ bid. My double implied both minors, so partner's minor-suit bids should be limit bids. If he'd bid 3♦ that would have been invitational, in the same way as 1♦ 1♥ dbl pass 3♠is invitational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I don't see what's wrong with 3♦ here We thought the hand is too strong for that but 3♦ looks perfectly reasonable to me now, still I would prefer dbl as 3♦ could be purely competitive with 5 diamonds.

phil_20686 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I would have bid 3!s like a shot. I have a pretty huge hand to play in diamonds. Bit worried that partner has too many spades but such is life. Happy to play 5D vs: Kx Kxxxx Axxx Ax. Guess maybe it needs a bit mroe than my instinct suggested, but really cannot imagine bidding 3d.

phil_20686 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Also, if partner had: K9xx Axxxx AJx x would anyone fancy a 2d bid? Perhaps everyone is for 1N here. Guess it looks quite normal. Just a bit surprising that lho hasnt found a raise. RHO has not bid that strongly. If partner has no spade values he could easily have x KQxxx Axxx Axx or similar.

gwnn Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Partner could easily have a dream hand with a super double fit, opps could easily have a 10 card fit. However, it's not all that likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Also, if partner had: K9xx Axxxx AJx x would anyone fancy a 2d bid?That's a nice nine of spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
