Fluffy Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Bonus question if you end up doubling: What should partner do with ♠4♥J1094♦J753♣J1062 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 2NT, followed by Pass or double depending on mood. But - We have the areement, that 2NT can be based on 54. Bonus: ... how to hide an answer? With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 2♣, because I have a good hand. Then pass, because it's not that good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Sorry I wanted to vote for 2♣ and pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 2♣ and double, because: 1) I have a club suit, and2) I have enough to beat 4♠ in my own hand under most circumstances, and I will not allow my opps to steal from me if it is our hand.

the_dude Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 2♣ because a) I think the main value of UnusualNT/Michaels is partner being able to compete accurately. When you extend them to 5-4 hands,you might occasionally find a fit that you would otherwise have missed, but you force your partner into guessing on the rest of the hands and give up your advantage. b) I have so much defense, I don't want my partner bidding over 4S on shape unless he thinks we are making it. Pass because the upside is questionable and my partner may think he can pull to hearts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 2C and pass, second choice 2C and double. If we double 4S partner should pull to 5C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think it is very close between 2♣ and pass, on the one hand, and 2♣ and double, on the other. Having seen the spoiler, obviously I'd always opt for the former :P ATT, I suspect it would depend on the mood I was in, and how well agressive decisions had ben working (assuming I'd made any so far). If I did double 4♠, partner has, imo, a clear pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 2♣ and pass. Doubling is very dangerous on 2245. I know some old timers that would overcall 2N with this (yes, really). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 2♣, because I have a good hand. Then pass, because it's not that good. This. I don't see any alternative to either action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I think I misvote but for me its 2C followed by X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 5♣ was a good defence against 4♠ clubs were 2-2 with King onside RHO was 5512 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Anyone for 2♣ then 4NT? :ph34r: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Anyone for 2♣ then 4NT? :ph34r: giving up on 4 spades doubled when it can so easilly be your best spot doesn't look very good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I think it is very close between 2♣ and pass, on the one hand, and 2♣ and double, on the other. Having seen the spoiler, obviously I'd always opt for the former :P Having voted for 2C and pass, and not thinking it very close, having seen the spoiler obviously I'd opt for the the latter (2C and double) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 2♣ + dbl. I can't bring myself to passing 4♠, though that's probably the right bid in practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 MPs I'd do 2C then X. I voted for 2C and pass because it's IMPs. Yes that's probably slightly on the wimpish side - I blame my new partner for getting me into this mindset. :) ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
