Fluffy Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Other than the bidding problems I presented, there were 3 very interesting hands this weekend. First hand Second hand (Article attached) Third Hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 What's the deal with the first one? I bid to an easily making game and there's no slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 you have +1100 avaialable in 1 heart doubled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Oh. Would good players reach defending 1♥X there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 All south's would double, the problem lies in north actually, passing twice with 5 spades is far from safe, but my partner risked it and got +800. Finding +1100 is tough ), so far nobody has. (EDIT: gnasher just did) I am not sure how much this happens at high level, but playing with a student I quickly cashed ♥K to stop partner from crashing it. I had bad experiences on this one. If you are not careful you will end up with only +200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I bid 2♠ as south :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I would double even with 2146 or 2245 I am very agressive towards reopening double, I will double 80%+ of the hands that I open and come back with overcall-pass-pass. But with 4 spades and 2 diamonds I think everyone should double, just think of it, partner passed 1♥ and RHO didn't raise, normally it will either be that partner has a penalty pass, or LHO has a huge hand, on the former doubling is better, on the latter it won't matter much.
