Fluffy Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 ♠KJxx♥QJ♦AKQ♣KJ108 MPs (1♥)-double-(pass)-1♠(2♥)-?? The rest of the hand is not extremely exciting I think but some guessing can be fun, you can test it on my page as always: Click here to play the hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I bid 3♠, raised to 4 by partner. I finessed opener's partner for the ♠Q then when I cashed 3 diamonds and crossed to my hand with a trump, West discarded the ♣A :o hidden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Thanks Csaba, fixed it. Please, hide the card location. BTW I think you tried to send me a message through the page but I got a blank one, anything wrong there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles123 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I also bid 3♠ raised to 4 but only made 10 tricks. On a side note is West not a bit negative passing with 4 hearts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 yeah should perhaps alert that its a hand form the club, I plan on putting some general names to opponents on the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antrax Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I bid 2♠ and ended up in 4 anyway, and made 11 tricks! Hurrah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I think you should allow 3♥ as a bid/poll choice. Made 11 :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Yes, I realized that later, although 3♥ supposedly is a very big hand with only 3 spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I just though of putting opponent's bidding after their name, in the player's box (East/West) when you become dummy and switch position to declare. Some people complained about missing the POV when switching LHO with RHO, perhaps it would help, what do yo think? It would be something like | West: 1♥-2♥-P | ------------ | East: P-P-P | Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartA Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 The bad thing is ♥QJ seems useless. The good thing is any honor card pd has are useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I like double. Partner bids 2♠ with any 0-4(bad 5). Anything else is game forcing. And he can pass or bid 2♠ with the dreaded 3433 depending on his texture. I'm passing 2♠, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my partenrships, I'd put 3♠ at invitational with somewhere around 17 points to a bad 20. 3♥ in my opinion would be a game force, not 3♠.

I think you may not have got my meaning - over my second double, anything other than 2♠ shows a game force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 A good thing too, if you're going to play it like that :)Fluffy needs people inadvertently playing randomly to find obscure bugs.

bigbenvic Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Fluffy needs people inadvertently playing randomly to find obscure bugs. (I'm always under the impression that if I have 9 trumps, I can never run out :( ) I would bid 3♥ forcing suggests 3nt as an option if Pards has a stopper, its used when you have long strong minor, or a half stopped heart suit with a reason to want 3nt instead of 4♠. As he has a fifth he bids 3♠ which is stronger than 4 but not strong enough to cue (given he didn't jump to 2s his hand is limited already) ps made 11 but not gwmn's way!

rmnka447 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'd bid 3 ♠. Since 2 ♠ would be invitational, 3 ♠ to me says to partner "bid 4 if you have any reasonable excuse to do so." With both black suit KJs, it seems like partner will need a little something for 4 to make. So partner will have a chance to pass with a truly terrible hand.
