gwnn Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Maybe it's a better treatment than generally thought, if only to remove the temptation on bidding it on hands like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVAN CY LO Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 [hv=pc=n&s=sa5432had4cqt8643&d=e&v=n&b=2&a=4d]133|200[/hv] Vul vs not in a sectional swiss, playing the event favorites and leaders (you are a close 2nd). RHO is a bit of a wild-card. Do you take action? If so, what? Only 10 HCP on hand and still rooms for partner to balancing reopen. I will stay pass for this pre-emp action.

Only the rationale is completely wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 On record for 4♠ at another website. On BBF, the comments seem to indicate its close between 4♠ and pass. The other poll was much more tilted toward pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rationale is I would choose to pass with such quality of 2 suits and with just a fair strength of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 On record for 4♠ at another website. On BBF, the comments seem to indicate its close between 4♠ and pass. The other poll was much more tilted toward pass. I don't really care much about the quantity of votes. In this site or another. I prefer paying attention who voted for what. From my post you can easily see i have strong feelings for pass, however 3/4 of my favourite posters (in this topic) prefered to bid (Wank, Roger, Andy) and MikeH admitted that he leans towards pass. Wank admitted that it is dangerous action, while another poster stated that this is a "WTP 4♠" lol. That alone explains why i don't really care about the quantity of votes. Two people can vote for same option and still can be way too distanced from from each other about how they see the same hand. After reading Andy's post i wanted to write same thing that MikeH did about what to bid if i was forced to bid something. I really like 5♣ more than 4♠ and the reasons for that is well explained by Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
