kfay Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I wouldn't really need all that much as it is but since RHO is a passed hand I feel pretty good about whatever the weakest option is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Diamonds have nothing to do with it. I double and expect to play right here on a ♥ lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcw Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Odds seems fair that P may be trap passing. So if I X with zilch we may be onto a good score.OTOH if P pulls the X we could be in for a poor score unless my ♦ are A or better.At MP's I X regardless, but at IMPs I need the ♦A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 fav or unfav? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich-b Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Since RHO is Passed hand , and LHO is (presumably) weak , If my opening is minimal , it is very likely that partner has a trap pass.Opps often take liberties when favorable , and it looks this time they are about to be caught.I would double here , regardless of my ♦ holding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 fav or unfav?That's a good question. The subject line says "unfav", but the text of the first post says "opps vul", which is fav. So which is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 we were vulnerable sorry, will edit the original post. I had Q10xxx and reopened to find partner with ♠Kx♥Q10xxx♦xxx♣K10x 4♥ went for 500, trumps 5-0 thjis time, 4♠ was cold but 500 was still a bottom.

Statto Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Had something similar recently -- P-(P)-1♦-(P); 1♥-(3♠)-P-(P); ? -- though it was love all (and obviously not quite the same). With little extra despite 5 ♥s, and fearing pushing opps into a making 4♠, I passed. 3♠ made on the nose. 4♥ our way would have been 1 off. Still, I'll continue to think that you need a little extra push on in these situations... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetteriLem Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I would double with any diamond holding, but I admit there is risk involved, but I am willing to take it. RHO passed and LHO pre-empted, he could have a really bad hand.If partner passes, I am very pleased as I have an unexpectedly defensive hand. I cant see 3♠ making ever. We are unlikely to miss our best contract, if partner bids. If he is weak, he should bid our best fit I think. With average values we may end up in 4♥, which can go down. If he has a good hand, he is in a great position to make the correct decision. I think partner should assume that I wont have too wild hand, because I should probably bid it instead of double. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 The other question is what do you reopen with? I assume most are considering X, but what about 4♣? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 4♣ is one of the more ridiculous suggestions i've seen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
