Fluffy Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 ♠4♥QJ10987652♦7♣J6 All vul, IMPs you make the dubious decision of opening 4♥ at seocnd position. It goes: (pass)-4♥-(4♠)-double(pass) anything else to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 All vul, IMPs ♠ 4 ♥ QJ10987652 ♦ 7 ♣ J6(pass)-4♥-(4♠)-double(pass)anything else to say? IMO Pass = 10, 5♥ = 8. The double is non-consultative but, as fluffy implies, It is tempting to pull, especially it you want a new partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I don't really see much point in pulling. Although our "D" is low we are not exactly brimming with "O". 5♥ will be no picnic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinidad Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Pass. So, we don't have any D. Did we advertize any D? I don't think so. Yet partner doubles. He has 4+ tricks on defense. If he doesn't that is his problem. Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siegmund Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Obvious opening bid is obvious. Absent an agreement to routinely pull doubles when you have 0 tricks and only leave them in with a potential defensive trick here, obvious pass is obvious.

gszes Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 if your p trusts you at all your 4h vul bid will at a minimum havepretty darn decent hearts(2 losers max) if your p thought itwas a good idea to pursue a vul game in hearts they wouldhave bid 5h not x. You have no idea what the x is all you knowis that p thinks it is better to defend 4sx than be in 5h and there is nothing so special about your hand that would make youwant to pull a possibly lucrative x into a minus. IMO p = 10 (5h = 2 and shows a lack of partnership trust) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks, I passed and collected -1190, obviously partner's double was awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Playing with a weak client there is a case for passing as dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
