jahol Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 You are vulnerable, opponents not, and your leftie opens the bidding with 4S doubled by your partner.What would you bid after pass from the right with a)xx---1098x---xxxx---xxxb)x---1098x---xxxx---xxxxc)xx---1098xx---xxx---xxxd)x---1098xx---xxxx---xxxe)x---1098xxx---xxxx---xxf)x---1098xxxx---xxx---xx? Could you specify, whether your bid is CP (clear pass), HP(pass with hesitation),HH (bidding hearts with hesitation) or CH (clear heart bid)? This topic represents real headache problem, I (and many others) had yesterday (someone got headache immediately, someone later, after the board :-) ) Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Second hand has 12 cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flameous Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Three first are rather easy passes. Two last easy bids. d) is the problem hand and I might go either way. Would probably bid. (after a long hesitation) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I am not sure, I may take THAT in consideration at bridge table.... :-)But, Okay... all previous bids were pretty fast.. the bidding up to now took something like 15 seconds... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 The first three are CP, the last three are CH. It's good to have clear criteria in your mind and save some time for the play or other, as of yet unclassified decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can't take that into consideration. Just bid your cards according to the calls you see on the table not to what your partner thinks or doesn't.

ahydra Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Is anyone really expecting to make 5H on any of these? I'd pass them all. ahydra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I would bid on (f) and pass the rest. I'd be worried about (e). Well, I'd be worried about all of them, given my blizzard, but (e) would worry me for more than just what -590 or -690 cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I would clearly pass on a-b-c-d and bid on f. I agree with mikeh that e is the only difficult hand. I would have bid a month ago, but maybe now I think it is better to pass. Certainly a hand that you will get wrong quite often either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_20686 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I would bid with e and f. Seems fairly clear to me. I would consider 4N with d. If partner has a 5 card suit then we have several strains in play. But its too dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahol Posted November 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Indeed, the problem was hand e). Those, who passed, ended with -590, or even -690 after bad mistake in defence. The board was [hv=pc=n&s=s6ht98652dt954c97&w=saqjt8743hdq8ct85&n=sk52haq3da32ckq63&e=s9hkj74dkj76caj42]399|300[/hv] As you can see, those who bid 5H ended with -1100 (all of them). Still, I am not sure, whether to bid or not next time... I apologize, I used hand generator for the first time and I did not manage to address board vulnerability correctly. As I wrote in the contribution starting this topic - we were vulnerable, the opponents not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
