JLOGIC Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I would rip it, I have great defense (stiff club, good diamonds which is their side suit if they have one, ace of hearts...). My offense also seems pretty poor. Was 2H forcing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytoox Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 You need to dbl to protect your game. We do have lots of defensive tricks, dont we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyGo Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 You need to dbl to protect your game. We do have lots of defensive tricks, dont we? I'm not even sure there's a game to protect, but I smell a tasty penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mich-b Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 "non-forcing constructive" I think this hand is too strong for a "non-forcing" constructive 2♥, so would have to start with 2♠ planning 3♥ over pd's expected 3♣.After they bid 4♠ : I agree with Justin and would double , since I dont have special shape , have only a 5 card ♥ suit , and I am short in pd's suit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 there is no big alternative for 2♥, bidding 3♥ with this suit seems weird. Anywy, now I have so many extras that double is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiddity Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 If you double, partner bids 5♥. Do you bid again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszes Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 [hv=pc=n&s=sj75haq853daqj5c3&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1s2cp2h3s4h4s]133|200[/hv]Imps. Agree with 2H? What now? I dont know sigh would we bid 2h with sayxxx QJTxxx QJx x?? I would, this makes itvery difficult for a forcing pass situationto apply to the weak hand. I think pass over4s merely says I'm min and cant do anything. and why did p choose 2c vs X? do they have a flaw and/or reallyyyy good clubs? Was p handnot strong enough to x then clubs??? p (under the gun) bid 4h (so their flaw was notshort heart) how good does p have to be to bid4h when their p could bid 2h with my proposedminimum hand??? This hand is just too strong for a 2h bid I thinkstarting with 2s is better. However we survived our 2h bid and now have to decide what to do over 4s. Given how much better our hand is than min itseems impossible for 4h to go down and the onlyquestion is x for penalty or explore for slam. It may no longer be possible for p to envision ushaving such a good hand. This makes slam exploration iffy at best. I feel it is iffy to x the opps in 4s when they might have 10 spades. If they have 10 pis void and we might miss a really good grand. for ex: void Kxxx Kx AKxxxxx IMO we should start with 5d which will show slam interest and may help on defense if opps keep on with spades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_20686 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 If you double, partner bids 5♥. Do you bid again? I think I would raise if partner bid 5h over my double. I mean he is basically guaranteed a spade void and 4 trumps to pull the double. I would just hope for a few spade ruffs and the kd, or the club ace etc. Really easy to see slam being cold.

ahydra Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Well, phil, seems you win given the actual hand :) And yea if you can trust partner to only pull the double if he has great shape, then why not raise to 6. I'd X, then pass 5H because I couldn't trust my partner that much (he would pass on the hand given, and only pull if he was afraid of 4SX making, e.g. he'd overcalled light). ahydra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
