(in fact general comments on my bidding in general here would be welcomed) The result indicates it was a good decision, but I think that was a mistake when opps played the K clubs to be honest rather than my good def Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helium Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hi:)) i think ur bidding was fine, the dbl was a bit hard but the 3club bid was horrible:) kenneth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daswallow Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I think the x is ok, but the 3c bidder is way too light. Thinking about it, if 3c bidder had his bid, the x is dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 This hand seems to have lots of points! :blink: West is very strong, East has something to bid, your partner must have something to bid at 2-level in this vulnerability after both opps bid, and you still manage to have 9HCP! The only person I trust at the table is my partner, so EW bid way too high, and a Double will probably be a good decision. You'll probably be able to use your small trumps for ruffs, and a 3-level contract is easily defeated in such circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Looks like an ok dbl to me. Misfit to pard's suit, trump lenght, control of side suits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamaco Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I think it depends from the standard of the 2D overcall by pard. If pard overcalls soundly, double could be a good bargain, but if he/she has only diamonds, you may reasonably expect to set them 1 trick, but you are not sure. BTW: if you decide this hand is worth a double, then I think u shd have doubled 3C too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 If you can trust partner's 2♦ bid, then it looks a good double to me. You could also have doubled 3♣. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
