antonylee Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I know there's another topic about a 5-0-0-8, so this one is just slightly less impressive... IMPs[hv=pc=n&s=skj76hadak987654c&d=e&v=n&b=2&a=1cd1hp2h]133|200[/hv]Now what? At my table South bid 4♦ (undiscussed), fetched a 4♠ response and East came back in with 5♥(!)... then?

eagles123 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I don't like the original double much I prefer a straight out bid of either 5 or 6 ♦ but I'm still new to the game so I'm probably wrong :P in the original diagram I probably bid 5♦ in the at the table section well it depends is p showing strength or shortage or what in spades lol :) Eagles123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 The first x is so bad it is rather funny. Just bid 5D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamHenry Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 So what. An 8 card suit is called trumps. You don't fancy looking for 6♠ facing Qxxxx/xxx/x/xxxx? Even if partner has a doubleton diamond, a 3-0 split can kill 6♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 You don't fancy looking for 6♠ facing Qxxxx/xxx/x/xxxx? Even if partner has a doubleton diamond, a 3-0 split can kill 6♦.I was thinking Q10xxx, xxx, void, xxxxx I'd have overcalled a simple 1♦.

CamHenry Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I was thinking Q10xxx, xxx, void, xxxxx I'd have overcalled a simple 1♦. That hand does have much less risk of an immediate diamond ruff as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
