Free Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 You're vulnerable, they are not. Do they have a fit? That's unknown. To get in the bidding with such hand is probably suicide, asking for a -500.I'll pass. Turn the vulnerability around, then I might Dbl when it feels ok. Note: tnx for the 'other'-option :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotShot Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 With a well known partner i play that after 1 something - 1NT our weak 2 suiter are still on (in 4rth seat) since only one suit is shown. So i would have bid the minors, first time it was my turn.Now that two suits are shown and my partner will have a hard time to guess about my ♣. So i keep my mouth shut.

Double ! Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Pass..............probably even if opps playing constructive single raises (it would be helpful to have that information). Partner didn't take any action over 1NT, lho could be up to a 9 to bad 10 count with dbltn spade, and, if so, partner likely has at least 4 spades, more major than minor suit cards, and there is no guarantee of a fit for us. Where are we going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Pass. Probably pd has 4S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I like to bid a lot, but vuln I think I pass. At matchpoints I could consider 2NT, depending on how the match was going and opps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 As East rebid 2C 2NT would show long D and 4H! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Double only if you expect partner to leave it in. Partner has at least 4 hearts, and probably 5. Especially as he has a fairly limited number of HCP, this will likely lead to you writing -470 down on your card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcLight Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Pass. From the bidding I estimate LHO has 2 Spades. If he had more he would have raised pard, (he didnt bid a new suit). So pard has 5 or 4 spades. RHO doesn't care for Clubs (he may have 0-3, and he may be ruffing them, so I'll lead a trump). Thus RHO has long hearts and diamonds. I have no guarantee of pard having length in Diamonds, and I'd have to bid them at the 3 level. Hearts may be a 4-3 fit at the 3 level. Its possible we have a fit in clubs, (and also possible we have a 4-2 or 4-3 fit) , but I see no sense in risking it vulnerable at the 3 level. So no suit bid makes sense. Also, the opps dont have a game, so bidding to prevent them making 110, at the risk of -300 or -500 doesnt seem worth it. Do we double? Opps have at least 18 HCP, and much more likely 20-22.can we set them? Perhaps. We may set them a trick. doubled gives us an extra 50 points. If we fail, they make a game bonus. So we better set them 90% of the time, or set them 2 tricks the majority of the time. Can we do that?I dont think so. Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
