whereagles Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 hmmm... NV huh? I'll pass. If pard can't find a bid over this, we shd have nothing. Bidding is not very risky though.. LHO, who is a passed hand, can hardly dbl anything we bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunemPard Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Anybody else care to post on this? I will put up the full hands tomorrow and why I found this "interesting". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvr bull Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I will take my chances with a negative double. I would hate to pass and then have partner pass with a minimum like KJxx x KQxxxx Kx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high Great pre-empt quote, Runempard![hv=pc=n&w=sqt8732hajd65cqt7&d=n&v=n&b=1&a=p1d3h?&p=]400|300|Your call?[/hv] IMO 3♠ = 10, Pass = 9, Double = 8. No strong feelings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 The oriblem with pass is partner may pass, the problem with dbl is you are comitted to a 4 level contract. Partner may bid 4C or D and then you are a very unhappy camper, after all he could easily have 3S or KJ alone. I'll risk the overbid of 3S and prepare to explain my stupidity later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Molyb Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Partner's hand, I'd be aggressive so I bid 3♠. Your hand, 4♠ wtp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 This is hardly a horrible hand but it is MP so there is nostrong reason to stretch too much for game. That means Iwill choose Pass on this hand. However I have a certain admiration for 4s bidders since4s rates to be our best shot at game and any action other than pass willget us to the 4 level anyway. I do not like 3s since it may all tooeasily convince our strong but aceless p to pursue slam and we are downat the 5 level. pass = 9 4s = 7 dbl = 5 3s = 3 At least a 4s bid will deny much overall power.

I'll risk the overbid of 3S and prepare to explain my stupidity later.I'm looking at AJ of hearts, a red v white preemptor and I'm supposed to be worried partner will convert for penalties? I'd be very worried that partner will bid 4minor, but not that he'll pass, and if he passes, they haven't made it yet. The real problem with doubling is that we won't find our 6-2 spade fit and may not find our 6-3 fit, tho partner is allowed to choose 3♠ on a 3 card suit on occasion. I haven't looked at the spoiler yet. And I doubt that it will show the hand type on which a 3 card suit can be bid, but imagine AJx xx KQxx Kxxx. I'd support a 3♠ call ahead of any other option, altho 4♣ would be a second choice and pass a distant 3rd. If he has Ax xxx AQxx Kxxx as an example, that is a possible pass, but there is an excellent chance of going plus here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 lol at the actual hand. Wild horses couldn't keep me from the 5 level as opener on the given auction, and this is a very strong strike against 3♠, albeit a problem that won't arise that often given our heart holding.

Fluffy Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 My first impression was to pass 3♥, and it would make things very easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
