Cyberyeti Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 [hv=pc=n&s=skthkq983daj75ck7&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=4cpp]133|200[/hv] 4♣ is natural and bid by me, one of the more aggressive preempters in the room. What do you bid, and do you think the decision is close ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMoe Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 4♥ - Must act (not close). Double not appropriate. 4N (2P2P) seems wrong on tricks/strength/shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I'd try 4♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2000magic Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 4♥ seems pretty straightforward. Not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 4 ♥ If it goes for a bundle, that's life -- the preempt worked. With a decent 16 count and a decent 5 card ♥ suit, I've got too much not to act.Give opener something like 8 or 9 HCP and that leaves 15 or 16 HCP between the two passed hands. If they're split fairly evenly, we're likely to hold 23 or 24 total HCPs between us and game may be close. If worse comes to worse, I'd think it would be easier to explain an aggressive call, then trying to rationalize why we missed a lay down game.

Cyberyeti Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 4♥ was bid at our table. The passers win (or at least lose 1 IMP rather than 6) on this occasion. Partner's hand is AJxxx, xx, 109xxx, x, RHO has a weak no trump, spades and hearts are 4-2 so the last making spot is 4♦ which you're not going to find although my team mates did on a slower auction.

the hog Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Pass. The obvious call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Pass please. There's a difference between suggesting a trump suit on the 3- and 4-levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I would sooner double than pass, how did 4♠ from the bad side do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I would sooner double than pass, how did 4♠ from the bad side do?-1 rather than 4♥ which was -2. Basically there's a loser in each suit with xx, xx, K, QJ109xxxx/Qxxx, AJ10x, Qxx, Ax as the opps hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Should be doubled as well. 4H on this suit is the height of absurdity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Should be doubled as well. 4H on this suit is the height of absurdity matchpoints.Got out my thesaurus and fixed your post ;) I pass at IMPs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Got out my thesaurus and fixed your post ;) I pass at IMPs though. I would pass at matchpoints and bid 4♥ at IMPs. I think 4♥ will make less that half the time, and 4♦ will usually fail. But I think the dangers of going for a penalty are exaggerated, so I will gamble for the game bonus at teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
