lalldonn Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Fluffy are you just being sexist by not doubling if it was the queen? :P On the original problem, I can not resist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyman Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sounds like it should have had play, at least. Your post makes it sound like you ended up in a totally ridiculous spot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 23 hcp with prime honors and great spot cards after they have preempted sounds like a very good 3N. We can shut out the preemptor and set up our other suits most of the time. Of course, who cares since partner sometimes passes, or bids hearts, or bids spades, or bids clubs, or bids game in a suit, all of which rate to be very good for our side.

mikeh Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Partner bid 3NT once I doubled, he had about 13 points :PAssuming that 3N was a bad result, and that he didn't misplay it, this still proves nothing. Double was clear, but very few things in life are risk free and I know of even fewer calls at the bridge table that are assured of success every time. Get over it or quit the game :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zasanya Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Do not know the vulnerabilty and partner's ♦ holding but perhaps he shud have resisted 3NT and passed the double? :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Did the preempter have 7 to the K and an ace or something with partner having ♦QJx ? it does sound like 3N should have had at least some play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 WTP here? Looks like an obvious balancing double of a 3♦ preempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
