Hanoi5 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Red vs Red: ♠KTxx♥AQx♦Jx♣Jxxx P-P-3♠-P??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I would bid 4♠. LHO very likely will double if I don't. But if LHO is timid I suppose you could pass and hope to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunemPard Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Depends... Does your partner bid disciplined in 3rd/4th seat and/or in RED? Based on the bidding you can assume this is a split deck. I value your hand as having 5 losers or even 6. I see no real science to this hand...don't know the odds enough to even try to guess... Your guess is as good as mine...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunemPard Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I will guess that partner has 9 HCP and a single in clubs... AQxxxxx in SKxx in Hxx in Dx in C If I am right...I am going to Vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I've tried sneeky passes in situations like this but they always worked out sneekily badly. Somehow partner always has more than I expect, perhaps I should have expected this when both opponents pass with 2 spades combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 It depends who you are playing with.With one of my partners I would pass and hope it's only down 3 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statto Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 If it's IMPs/Teams, 4♠ seems to be a no-brainer. If it's MP pairs, will need to consult the farmers' handbook B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 4♠. If partner has three diamonds and the heart hook works, we'll actually make it. There's some other possibilities too. Otherwise, I will tell my partners we got pushed there. If the heart hook is wrong, clearly the opponents can make something, and they might bid it if I pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Opps are strangely quiet, so it's odds-on pard has a heavy pree. 4S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenvic Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 If my partner is traditional ie 2 short at this Vul then I have 2 tricks plus a fair chance that either my Q♥ is a trick, or one of the minor Jacks is worth something. Maybe pards has 3 ♦ and he can ruff one for his 10th. Just too many ways 4 can be right and the reward is worth the risk. At other vunerabilities esp white V red I'd think about passing though at white V red I'd probably be opening so no problem for me :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhu D Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 NAE: I would have opened but 4S seems clear now, how derranged is your partner? If he's disciplined you have two tricks and its worth a punt at IMPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
