jillybean Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Most of his rude, obnoxious comments are in the GIB forum.Another reason why I don't read the GIB forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I invite comments on my 5♣ overcall. Too random to me, obv could work very well as here but it seems like kind of a crap shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I would not bid 5♣ myself vs an unpassed pd, but i dislike the DBL of 6♥ more. East may hold the same hand with a little detail difference and was about to believe his pd has decent ♥ suit untill you double and they may find the correct slam with KQJxxx Q Axxxxx void West holding the same hand. After all i dont think u needed to worry that u had a game bonus to protect. Doesn't make much sense to me... if I let them play anything undoubled then surely 5NT?

MrAce Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Doesn't make much sense to me... if I let them play anything undoubled then surely 5NT? Yes of course, i didnt even feel the need to say u shd have passed 5NT. What doesnt make sense to me is, seeing someone who just made a "not everyone's choice" 5♣ bid which seems to be worked very well (5 NT was passed to you), is now trying to blow it up by starting a dbl spree. First you made the winning bid whether we agree or not, which brought them to a contract that would give you +700, then u decided to DBL which could turn this +700 into -650, it didnt fortunately for you. Then you doubled 6♥, which was 1 card shift in East hand away from making 6 ♠. I would be more cautious if i were you when one made 5NT call red vs white over his pd's minimum opener. Gain/loss ratio was overwhelmingly on favour of silently passing, regardless of how frequently they may or may not make 6♠ imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yes of course, i didnt even feel the need to say u shd have passed 5NT.I presumed, in the context of the game/table, that Michael doubled 5NT to help jillybean rather than increase his score.

the hog Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I wouldnt call it idiotic. Thats way too rude imo. I dont think he asked for insult when he said he wants comments about his bid. I would not bid 5♣ myself vs an unpassed pd, but i dislike the DBL of 6♥ more. East may hold the same hand with a little detail difference and was about to believe his pd has decent ♥ suit untill you double and they may find the correct slam with KQJxxx Q Axxxxx void West holding the same hand. After all i dont think u needed to worry that u had a game bonus to protect. It is the extreme opposite of sensible. When i look that up in the dictionary my description comes to mind.

There is undo button for that, but if that was the case anyway then of course its nobel of him i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I like the 5 ♣ bid. It is much harder to defend against 1 anything (5 m) if the hands are not allways weak. And I see no good way to bid this hand slowly. So I had been in slam with the E/W Hhands too... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I know very little about classy and what it has to do with doubling 5NT, but I understand that cloa's ridiculous post was far from classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 and this was another joke? I meant it seriously, but now I realize that it was a silly question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
