the_dude Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 [hv=pc=n&s=s2hakqj7dj87ckj92&n=sk98h65dkqt965ct3&d=s&v=n&b=15&a=1h1s]266|200[/hv] IMPS, east will bid 2♠ given the opportunity. Can you stay out of game? If not .. what's your auction to get to 4H? (the only game with a chance) ******* Bonus question .. can North get away with a creative negative double? How do you take this auction? 1H (1S) X (2S) 4C P 4D? does 4D show this hand .. or is it some sort of slam try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 If north doubled then why would south bid 4C? 1534 is about the easiest X of 2S ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I was going to suggest 1H (1s) x (2s) 3c p 3d, playing good/bad so that 3c shows better than a minimum opener from south. Having opener reopen with a double as justin suggests works fine too. "Get away with" a "creative" negative double? It was the textbook way to show a long suit too weak to bid naturally at the 2-level immediately, at least if you learned negative doubles in the pre-Internet age... if that's what south understands 3D to show, he should have no trouble avoiding 3NT or 5D.
