Vampyr Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I don't think you need to wonder about what to do when someone bids as appallingly as West. It should not happen very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggwhiz Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Freak hands are tough and it's a realy fine line between raising 4♦ to 5 (your ♥ ruff in dummy could be their overuff) but it's not a juicy penalty missed at all. East will (or should) run to 4♣ or even 3♠ in passout seat and you ain't getting rich or even plus if you misstep. That said, passing out 3♥ is equally tough.

P_Marlowe Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hi, the first question is, what is the meaning of the X? The X occurred in the passout, but after both sides did limit their hands.I would say, tha X is pure penalty, so X is fine, it is evenmatadory.Responder has no reason to run, he has no bad surprise for opener, in fact the Kx in partners suit is ok - it is a ruffing value. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
