billw55 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'll sit for it. Partner didn't pull and I have a better than normal hand, since 6 diamond tricks are almost certain. We could easily have 9 cashers with a heart lead. No need to redouble, which would cost more if wrong than it would gain if right, not to mention that partner might pull it.

Phil Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I will refrain from redoubling but maybe I should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 try to pass in tempo and hide excitement. I amquite proud of my 2d call and will not mindlaying it down for the world to see. please please please save those xx for situationswhere there is (doubt and an alternative)or no alternative 1s p 6s x xx for ex:) lets say you hold Kxx x QJT987 Kxxthis is the kind of hand ready made for xxwarning p there is a good chance diaprobably wont run as hoped and that youare near the bottom for your overcall. Saving xx for situatuions like this has theside benfit of never having to decide to runw/o giving p a chance to have a second say in the matter (who's to say p doesnt have say Qxx JT9x AKx Axx?)

Fluffy Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 my 2♦ call sucks, I have an obvious double. Pass now seems obvious anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 my 2♦ call sucks, I have an obvious double. Pass now seems obvious anyway. Seems like a 2♦ call to me. If we are going to play in spades (the most likely outcome if I make a takeout double), then I want partner to introduce the spades voluntarily. As for passing in tempo to hide my excitement, I really don't think that is too much of an issue, since I am in the passout seat. And, quite frankly, while I am passing, I don't know that I am that excited to be doubled in 3NT. It is quite possible that LHO has good diamonds, something like QJTx or even QJTxx.

But I agree about the 2♦ call, it seems obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 1-ask if its not ligthner type X, (very unlikely) but it cost nothing to ask. 2- good or bad opps are they respecting us or not ? It look like Qtxx,qJxx behind and partner having xxx,jxx. in wich case pulling to 4C/4D via xx or not lower the losses significantly.

han Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Pass. I suspect that we are going down a couple but it is not 100% and I have no guarantee that we have a better spot. If the opponents are really bad I would smile. If partner is really bad I would pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige1 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 All white, teams: ♠ Txx ♥ Void ♦ AK9432 ♣ ATxxPa Pa 1♥ 2♦2♥ 3NT Pa Pa Pa Pa ??? P = 10, XX = 6, 4♣ = 2. The way the question is phrased imples partner hopes for a vote of confidence :) 3N may be a good save against a major game or slam and makes if partner has as little as ♠ Jxxx ♥ Ax ♦ Txxx ♣ Txx With aces, you are happy enough but (on another hand) should XX express doubt?
