Quartic Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 [hv=pc=n&s=s972hajt6daqt952c&w=sa84hq9843d763ck6&n=skq65hkdcaqt75432&e=sjt3h752dkj84cj98&d=s&v=e&b=3&a=1d3h4cp4dp5cp5dppp]399|300[/hv] 3 down undoubled cost 5 imps (Butler). How should this hand be bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 A double by North (what was West smoking when s/he bid 3♥?) would have worked nicely but that is not realistic. 4♣ is normal. I think S should have passed 5♣. But North could have made it a bit easier for South by bidding 5♣ immediately. 4♣ followed by 5♣ might suggest a slightly more flexible hand.

Fluffy Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 This was the third psyche performed by this west while I was on the table, god knows what else he did while he was on other tables (althou I was playing on 3/5 so not many did he scape from me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Nothing appropriate to say regarding West, but: 1) Maybe 5C was not available, or North feared it might be misconstrued. If it was available, Helene is right on.2) It is probably not a good idea to keep bidding one's six-bagger when pard has shown more than that of his own suit.

the hog Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 A pretty obvious pass of 5C. What was south thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsteele Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Why not make a negative dbl over 3H? If pd has a 4 cd spade suit you have found the right strain and now can worry about level. If pd bids 4D you correct to clubs. If pd passes it is your lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I don't agree with Helene here, a jump to 5C is completely off because you can so easily have a slam. South made a common mistake for beginners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
