JLOGIC Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 red vs white imps. Axx T9xx x AKJxx 1D p 3S ? 3S=preemptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Too scared: I pass. If partner had a singleton spade, he might have bid already, or he may even bid now when 3♠ comes around to him. Our heart fit is at best 4-4, and it may not be breaking (or clubs may not break, which is almost as bad). I don't fancy the four-level opposite a 2443 9-count.

Trinidad Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 ♣A (or K, according to agreement). Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 This is not as scary as first glance seems. Partner may indeed have 4-5xH +0-2xS fearing to get into an auction against their spades if they own this hand.Pushing into 4H may induce 4S - just a little less likely to suffer a bonanza double.I double and partner leans to 4C leaving both 4D,4S for them.The game upside is good - the downside is bad. The 3S preempt intended to steal this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yeah count me in for a pass too. I'd want a better heart suit before I switch to a double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I would but obviously it's close. Passing is also scary in its own way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I don't know if I would. Partner didn't act over 1♦ but it could be 'cause he has 4 'forever'. I lean more towards double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I overcall aggressively when I have a good 4 card major, which is another reason pushing me to pass if I was playing with myself. Opposite someone else I'd probably still pass but it is very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinidad Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Double. F*** it.Isn't that somewhat optimistic? What makes you think that there will be a double fit? ;) Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 At the table RHO only bid 1S (they were a new partnership so probably unclear whether they played splinters or preemptive there) with JTxxxxx x xx Qxx or something. I was able to double and get to 4H (partner had 5 diamonds and 4 hearts and a pretty good hand). Was just wondering after if I would have doubled 3S, I think I would pass but you never know, somehow I always talk myself into bidding!
