jh51 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 ok, just checking. still not sure what possessed me to make a negative double... Temporary insanity? Tiredness? Low bood sugar? I have given such explanations for similarly rediculous bids (typically on my last day of a multi-day tournament). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Well, it was after 2am, and in an Express game where anything goes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jh51 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Well, it was after 2am, and in an Express game where anything goes... In that case I will add consumption of adult beverages to my possible explanations for the bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 A good reminder of why I should avoid Express/Indy tournaments.There's a difference: Indys are bad bridge, but Express is not bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxx Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Yeah a negative double is very bad Switch the ♥J out for the ♥8, and the ♦8 out for the ♦J, and I would have voted for 3♦. There, I'll crawl back under my rock now...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloa513 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 [hv=pc=n&s=shjt52dt986543c85&d=w&v=n&b=12&a=p1c1s]133|200[/hv]Add one more club rather than a diamond then its not bad with low risk. Partner has four spades, he should bid diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
