Fluffy Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 [hv=pc=n&s=s862hj873dacqt752&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=ppp1npp2dp2hd3dpp]133|200[/hv] playing against 2 LOLs RHO anounces loudly without being asked that she doesn't know if 2♦ is transfer to hearts. you call director, they feel insulted, etc, director says continue playing. So your turn. If you ask what a 2♦ opening would show She didn't open 2♦! If you ask again I don't know/no agreement 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'd pass. If partner can't double this, it's quite likely to make. Maybe that means I should bid something, but I'm not sure what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 It's stuff like this that makes me pissed off generally with playing in bridge clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'll double-shoot. Let them try to convince the director that my double is a SEWOG :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I doubled but they had a perfect hand for this contract, ♠KQx opposite jack, ♦J109xxxx opposite Qx, and ♥A+♣A. -110 was a bottom anyway, only winning action at this point was to bid 3♥.

kenberg Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I promise that I decided to pass before I read the result. But there is, or might be, still a director issue here. Does lho have a hand that would bid 3D absent her partner's remark? Even at a club game I should think the argument that 3D makes while 2HX goes down in flames is irrelevant if it is the remark rather than her cards that make 3D the clear call at the time she made it. Otoh, you chose to play in this game, and I assume it's not your usual venue. So maybe forget it. Or is this pair the outlier? This "She didn't bid 2D" amuses me. I once had a similar situation. On lead, I asked whether in the auction a particular bid was forcing. The opponents seemed incapable of answering this. They pointed out the the partner had bid over it. Yes, but was it forcing? "I bid over it!!!", Yes but....Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 How about passing 2H? Was +400 a good matchpoint score? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinidad Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 What makes you think that LHLOL would pass 2♥ undoubled? Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahh Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 After many years of struggling to keep my temper and miserably failing I have decided that if I choose to play in games where this behaviour is accepted by the directors and the players as the norm then I have to either play in it and accept it or not play . If you call the director and upset people you are in the wrong. They are not wanting anything other than a friendly night out without grief . They do not want to play bridge as i know it. So to keep my sanity I either don't play or if I do I turn a blind eye to it and smile to myself .My road to Damascus moment came after 37 years of playing in a club where I mistakenly thought they were above these things but nowadays to them a pleasant argument- free atmosphere is more important . I accept that so far of the majority of club bridge players is concerned I am out of step so the onus is on me to conform or stay away .So I stay away, play on line and no longer take blood pressure tablets. Oh online bridge problems now that's another story :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 so double was a "i'm frustrated" double and partner didnt field it? i'm curious how partner would have explained it were he asked what it means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampyr Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 If you call the director and upset people you are in the wrong. They are not wanting anything other than a friendly night out without grief . I do not blame you for not wanting to play at clubs where calling the director "upsets people" and causes them "grief". I hope this is not the case at the majority of clubs in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
