Lord Molyb Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 You've arrived at the last hand of the night after a rather normal session at the club and pick up your usual 6 count. After yawning, you pass as dealer, vulnerable against not, and a fairly normal bidding sequence occurs. [hv=pc=n&e=sj9h84dq963cqj642&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=p1sdr2c2h5c5spp6cpp6hp6s]133|200[/hv]1. What now?2. Would you have bid 6♣ over 5♠? Matchpoints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 is the vulnerability right? are we at unfavourable? I would pass unless I am sure that pass is forcing in which case I'd double. My handlooks bad, although I didn't promise anything so I am happy with whatever decides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 What would a pass over the original XX have shown? I don't like my hand, could hardly be a worse 5hcp for slam with 5 clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Molyb Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 fixed the hand diagram because it jumped the gun on east's call.vulnerability is correct in the diagram.What would a pass over the original XX have shown? I don't like my hand, could hardly be a worse 5hcp for slam with 5 clubs.Undiscussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Pass or double according to forcing pass agreements, leave it up to partner. We don't really have anything useful at all, and we don't know whether partner's 5C was to make for sure, or as a two-way shot against 4M. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Double. I find partner's sequence more than a little strange, but the opponents seem to believe him. He is not bidding 6♣ as a sacrifice at this vulnerability. Whatever partner needs for a grand slam I don't have. And the opponents are not making slam (or, if they are, we are not getting many matchpoints anyway). As for the question of my action over 5♠, I would have passed, thinking I had a good hand for my bidding to this point. By the way, I just hate it when partner has a strong hand and leaps multiple levels in the auction, and then pushes a high level bidding decision over to you. How in the world can you make an informed decision when partner has gone out of his way to provide you with no useful information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
