wank Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 3♠. I'm more worried about pushing the opps into game than going for a penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Pass, I have no extra offense but good defense. Partner's cards may also be well positioned. The matchpoint jackpot +200 is even possible. 3♠ seems like a probable Law violation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 [hv=pc=n&s=saj7h864dj93cqj54&w=s96hq9dqt8754ct32&n=skq832ht5dak6c986&e=st54hakj732d2cak7&d=s&v=e&b=3&a=pp1s2h2spp3hppp]399|300[/hv] On a diamond lead, I won and shifted to a trump. +100 was a 34. +200 would have been a 71.5. If they let us play 2♠ (or you choose to bid 3♠), +140 is a 59.5. Maybe a reality check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Same at my table FWIW. Why do you mention +200, did you consider doubling lol? There is nothing wrong with doing normal things, the opps did slightly well, and you get 34 %. You don't need to crush every board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 No, don't need to crush every board, but it seemed like our opponents were taking away a lot of our A+'s and giving A-'s. I posted these to see if there was anything I could have done personally on the bidding on a few of these hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Against 3♠, if they start with three rounds of hearts and West pitches a club, you have to draw two rounds of trumps exactly before playing clubs to avoid a club ruff. Then East wins the club and leads his last trump and you have no entry to dummy's long club so lose a diamond at the end for down one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigpenz Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I have no idea if its normal to bid 3H here or not at MP. Vul against not.

JLOGIC Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I bid 3H, 3 small spades ftw. I remember feeling somewhat screwed that they shifted to a trump at the time, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalldonn Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I remember this hand now, I shifted to a trump after a diamond lead too. What a lousy score :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Is it just me or is a diamond lead weird with AJx xxx J9x QJxx on that auction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
