CSGibson Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 [hv=pc=n&s=sa72hq3dqt764cakq&d=w&v=b&b=4&a=p1s5c]133|200[/hv] You are playing a 2/1 system with somewhat light openings (partner will open most 11 counts). Your RHO is one of the best players in the area, and known to be a fairly solid citizen. Your call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Seems like a trap but I'd double them. At least I know it's down :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLOGIC Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Didn't mean it as a trap. Just seemed like a hand with some options No just meant RHO overcalling 5C red and being a sound person heh. Wouldn't surprise me if he had some crazy shape but it doesn't really matter to me as I have AKQ of clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 It seems quite likely that partner will take the double out, but that's probably OK. Maybe he'll end up running club winners through LHO's trump holding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I would guess he would usually bid something with a void and usually pass with a stiff. Obv depends on his exact hand, but generally speaking. If I remember correctly 655321 thinks X of 5C is penalty and partner should almost never pull, I think that is a minority view but I def wouldn't expect partner to just bid with a 5431 hand or even a hand with more shape that's kinda bad and has a club. I think he will even pass with 5440 sometimes out of fear of bidding the wrong red suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I don´t see the alternative to double, RHO might be 85 or something, I don´t expect very good breaks if we play, so forcing us to play with only 8 trumps is not promising.

pooltuna Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I think making any call but X is whacko if you are playing IMPS. MPs may have a case for something other than X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_20686 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Surely the only remotely difficult thing is if partner bids 5S, should you raise? It seems pretty plausible that if partner pulls he probably has something like KQxxxxx AKx Kxx - or something, in which case 6S is a virtual claimer.

A claimer except on A diamonds lead , small diamond ruff defense. :P Cheers, Theo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfa1010 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Double. I would surely raise if partner bids 5♠. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 After you double, partner pulls to 5♥. Now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_20686 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 6S or 5S could be right. Would probably take the low road. There are always unpleasant surprises after big preempts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 After you double, partner pulls to 5♥. Now?I would assume partner has ♠KQJTxx♥AKJxx♦xx♣void as I raise to 6 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'd double after checking the back of my cards and RHO's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 we offer an ace and a queen to partner, I am not raising to 6. 5♠ and pray to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
