PhilKing Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Double. Unanimous! Even a squid doesn't need four hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broze Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Ok, good. I elected to double but I thought there might be some naysayers. The auction proceeds: [hv=pc=n&e=sahq53dkq54ca8643&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1sd4sdp]133|200[/hv] Back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 What's your agreement? If partner's X is responsive I bid 4N (Pick a minor), and if it's penalty, well, there's really only green cards in my future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Ok, good. I elected to double but I thought there might be some naysayers. The auction proceeds: [hv=pc=n&e=sahq53dkq54ca8643&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1sd4sdp]133|200[/hv] Back to you. Is partner denying 4 hearts? Just showing 'points'? I'd pass.

JLOGIC Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Partner's X is just values and not penalty but I still have a clear pass, the ace of spades is a big clue about that as well as Axxxx of clubs. COME ON MAN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 First Dbl is very easy. Imo the 2nd decision is closer, but since I have 3 tricks in hand at equal vulnerability, and no guarantees that we can make any 5-level contract, I'd just pass.

broze Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 [hv=pc=n&s=sj7653h987642dcj5&w=sqhakjtdj9876cq97&n=skt9842hdat32ckt2&e=sahq53dkq54ca8643]399|300[/hv] Just remembered to post the full hand. The winning action at the second term is 4NT. Opps are cold for 5♠. Me and p ended up in a pretty horrid slam but going off was a bucket load of IMPs when the other tables were in 4♠x+1 N.

cherdano Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Looking at the EW hands only, you want to defend 4♠X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 you can't bid on the assumption the hand's as spicy as this. if you never concede anything ending in 90, you're declaring too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 The winning action is for West to say 4NT (the obvious bid). That will probably lead to 5♠ doubled -650 for 1 imp in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Law of Total Tricks, they have 11 HCP's and make 11 tricks. Good dive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
