Antrax Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 [hv=pc=n&n=s984ht985dj87ck43&d=w&v=b&b=4&a=2dp2n(Art.%2015+)d(TO%20for%20%21D)ppp]133|200[/hv]I think North has an easy 3♥ bid - was it expecting E to bid again or something? 2NTx= was the most common result, with E holding ♠62 ♥A ♦AT2 ♣AQ98752 you get to cash your five running spades and declarer gets two aces and six running diamonds.

johnu Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Certainly an inappropriate pass, but definitely not strange for GIB who makes all kinds of suicidal passes of takeout doubles without hope of beating the contract. This doesn't make past a 5 out of 10 in terms of worst conversions of a takeout double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 North and East have 5 of each major between them... GIB's description of a 2♦ opening includes a maximum of 3 in each major... so, South is at least 5-5 in the majors... Shoulda bid 3♦ instead of dbl B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Yeah, South's hand was something like ♠AKQJx ♥KQJTx ♦x ♣xx. Didn't want to give up on penalty in case distributions are wild all over the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
