JLOGIC Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I think 4H stands out, having already doubled we are showing a flexible hand. We will often have 5 hearts or 6 not great hearts for doubling and bidding hearts. Partner will not pass with 5 spades and 2 hearts. Yes, it is possible we need to defend 4D X but I think it is unlikely compared to something like partner having 4 spades and 3 hearts and bidding 4S and it being bad.

HighLow21 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Double again. Partner can't know your double was this good or that you have a void necessarily. Still flexible, and spades can play fine if partner has anything better than 4 weakies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Wow Justin in a minority of one. Times have changed in the forum. But I had bid 4 ♥ too, this does not show a very strong hand with a onesuiter in hearts, but a very strong three suited hand with 5 hearts- "exactly" what I have. I had prefered a 4504 with even better hearts too. But you cannot have it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 4H. Don't have much else to add that this shows a good flexible hand with 5H and the best we can achieve to find the right game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 4H, I like to give my partner the freedom to frequently pass 3/4 level takeout double, the cost is not being able to X when ive got a void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yu18772 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 4♥ - if I double with 3 hearts and 4 spades partner will be in 4♠. http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gifYu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is possible we need to defend 4D X but I think it is unlikely compared to something like partner having 4 spades and 3 hearts and bidding 4S and it being bad. wouldn't we bid the same way with a rock crushing hand with self sufficient hearts though. Is partner really gonna pull to his own suit in this auction with 52 in the majors? Given our lousy hearts and the tap certainly coming in our hand do we even wanna be in most 5-3 fits where partner holds bad hearts? I'm just not so sure I even wanna play 4H as this has developed, and it seems like partner is leaving this double in a lot of the time.

Fluffy Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 partner is 4-3 in the majors, 4♥ will make +620 sadly partner has ♦KJx onside!, wich means 7 tricks are cashing against 4♦ X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the latter, how does the Moysian go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 rduran, with a 1 suiter in hearts over 3D you must overcall some number of hearts (like 4H). Double then 4H is not stronger than a 4H overcall, it just shows a different hand type, one that is more flexible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the latter, how does the Moysian go? partner has J9xx J10x KJx xxx I am pretty sure he would pass the double, 4♠ might make since ♠Q10 are bare on RHO's hands.

JLOGIC Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 ofc he would pass the double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
