Hanoi5 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Mp's, would you do something else if playing Imp's? [hv=pc=n&w=skq5hk942dak3c865&d=n&v=e&b=9&a=5dpp?]133|200[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoshy Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Easy pass. Sure, we might get more from defending 5♦X, but our offense is terrible and we will just be tempting partner to bid on his diamond shortage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 If I double I have a partnership agreement that pard cannot pull it unless they have a live chance at making their bid. I think (they think) they do, they will and they won't. It sucks but I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Doesn't North have ♦QJT987654 ♣AKQJ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 If I could, I would double for penalties. But as we play with screens, I could not. So I pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Slam a red card down on the table as hard as you can - should get the message across. Note that the same convention also works for singleton leads and honour leads against NT asking for an unblock (et al). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_20686 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I don't mind double hugely, but its basically certain partner will pull this. This reminds me of a hand vs bakshi-De Wijs, [hv=pc=n&s=st9852hq42dcj9854&w=sj76h87dak875432c&n=sa3haj953dcakt632&e=skq4hkt6dqjt96cq7&d=w&v=n&b=12&a=5ddp5sp5np6cppp]399|300[/hv] East had a huge tank over the double, and I decided that probably meant he was long in diamonds, and partner was shapely, so decided to pull. West led the ace of diamonds and it was happy days. Anyway, the point is that partner might well strive to pull this on weak shapely hands. You will be playing 5M whenever partner has a six card major, for example, and I'm not sure that you want to do that, so I would pass. Still, you have a reasonable honour structure for playing 5M, so it feels close. If they lead a diamond and away go partners club losers you won't be too disappointed with your wasted diamonds. Now i've almost talked myself into doubling. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 if i x with this hand what will i do with say AxxKQxxxxxAKx if i x with this also how in the heck is p ever going to figure outwhat to do in any given situation (or even come remotely closeto being right). pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Well, the five level belongs to Nigel Guthrie, so I'd pass. B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
