Fluffy Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Lets speculate a bit. East probably has 7-4 minors for his opening, West has 7 hearts most likelly this puts partner with something close to a 4261, we have fit, but partner is very weak, with 1 heart sure loser and many clubs o deal with, we can't expect any help from partner's diamonds. Losing 2 spades, 1 heart and 1 club from the start would be pretty normal. I would like to make a penalty double, but I doubt double is penalty, partner might bid 4♠ with 4, but also possible is 5♦ if he has 3♠ 7♦ that would be awful. I think I would bid 4♠ just to avoid partner getting in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 pass p is exceedingly short in clubs but could find no call over 3c this severly limits p power though there is no reason to assume itdrastically reduces their chances of having very long diamonds. next we see 4h and that means p has a good chance of being very shortin hearts also further reinforcing the probability they have very long diamonds and also a very weak hand. P probably has some minimal spade supportbut if we picture a decent hand like Qxxx xx Kxxxxx x do we have good play for 4s??? we lose the first 2 tricks to ruffs and we still have the trump A along with a heart and 2 other club losers to take care of. thats down2 on a hand where the opps are going to lose 2s 2h and 1d and thats assuming wearent x. I think it is too dangerous to bid on here since we could just as easily be turninga + 50/100 for a -500/800 and p needs a much better hand for us to score + 620. IMO pass at this vulnerability.at favorable I would bid 4s not so much because I expected to make it but because there issignificantly less risk involved and it is extra insurance against the opps making 4h. As an aside even if x were penalty I would not use it on this hand we have only 2 "sure" tricks andit seems that we may be all too easily endplayed into playing spades from our hand.
