helene_t Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Gib passes very often in this spot. I wonder if there is something wrong with the simulation assumptions. Other than that it assumes dd defence. Humans probably pass less often than they should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 All NV, probably 2S is right. Maybe if opps were vul you could punt for the magic 200 with a pass. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I don't expect partner to pass 1S if we are making 4S. If partner has a skew double, ie shape for 2m but too strong, then I don't really want to encourage by bidding 2S. If all he wants is a Heart guard for 3N then we will still get there I think.

Bbradley62 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 As I'm sure everyone has figured out, WestGIB passed :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggerclub Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Were you void in ♥s? Defense should not be horrible with a ♥ lead. Especially if x'er holds the 9 or better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lycier Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 1♠ is my choice,pass may be very in danger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I was partner of opener; doubler was void in hearts. 1♥ went down 1 for a whole -100 for my side, whereas EW could take 11 tricks in spades. Funny thing was that the only tables where they got to 4♠ were when the human had cleverly sat himself North instead of South, and he couldn't take the heat and ran from 1♥x with 2515 and 16HCP.

steve2005 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 never sit for a double when you have an undisclosed fit, even as in this case its only an inferred fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 In case it wasn't obvious, two of my recent threads were about the same hand, as seen from opposite sides of the table...
