chasetb Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Is this a joke? Pass, and if you get fixed, send that board to bridge hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasetb Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Something that might help in this situation is called the Rule of 9. Basically, it says to add up the level (3) + the # of trump (5) + the # of honors in the trump suit (2). If they add up to 9 or more, you should pass, and in this case you have 10. What makes this a little different is this is mainly applied over pre-emptive opening bids. This was a 4th seat overcall, and we know partner is making a game try. However, there is NO WAY you can bid game, so pass that sucker and collect your 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I like to play that double promises some defense - with a light shapely invitation, you just guess to bid 3H and 4H. That way, you can pass the double more often.Not that it matters here with JT97x of trumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yeah what cherdano said, with a void in diamonds you just bid game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
