WellSpyder Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 no bid. don't feel like turning +100 into -800. 4♠ for sure.Are you two still playing together? :) FWIW, I'm with Phil on this one, though I can easily see it having the result wank suggests.

Well, if he had access to my database he might change his mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Molyb Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I think I'm using the same database as PhilKing.It was an obvious pass before I ran simulations, now it's an obvious 4♠. Partner has 3-4 spades and a singleton/void heart a surprising amount of the time and we can often make 4♠ opposite a low doubleton or honor singleton. When we can't make 4♠ they are almost always making 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 [hv=pc=n&s=sakt963h652d94ckq&d=w&v=b&b=4&a=4hpp]133|200|MPS[/hv] IMO 4♠ = 10, Pass = 9, Double = 4. A toss-up. Wank may well be right, taking into account partner's silence and your 3 ♥s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Did these databases eliminate all hands with which CHO doubles in direct seat? My simtuition went with Wank, but my expectation of the forum replies went with Phil. LOL at myself, I just noticed my tagline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I would bid 4♠ and complete the transfer. http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 4♠. If it's 'wrong', the 800 will be a push, and maybe I'll play it a trick better and win 7 :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The database shows what happened when the auciton actually occurred at the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 4s For ONCE I actually have a suit with quality. Having trump suitquality is the number one way to keep from getting x. This fact alonevirtually eliminates any chance of going for 800 and thus reducingrisk significantly. The second factor in favor of a 4s bid is that p rates to havean average of 9 hcp and if p has that 9 we have a great chance atmaking game so on average we will make a vul game. Seems like riskvs reward favors bidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascade Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I think they can make 4♥ more often than we can make 4♠. I hope one can make so I bid 4♠. If it is 4♥ making then I hope 4♠ is a decent dive. Its not all roses though. 4♠ might be too costly at these colours and we may simply create a problem, for partner, when the opponents compete to 5♥.

Fluffy Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 If LHO open 4♠ I would bid 5 of my suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
