What is 4NT by partner? Say you pass, because double is takeout, and partner bids 4♥. What do you bid now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Double would be takeout. It would be my choice on 4333 with the same points but I lean towards pass on this hand (trusting partner to act on hands with very short hearts). I prefer to balance very aggressively in this kind of situation so I won't force to slam, but 5C into 5H should show something like this hand and rates to be safe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetb Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Double is definitely takeout, and I would pass here. I would also pass partner's Double because my ODR is so low. EDIT - Since partner bid 4♥ however, I am in a bind. I will take the low road by passing and collecting the game bonus. I have a bad feeling that if I bid 6, it goes Club ruff, ♥Ace for -1.

MrAce Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I would pass over 4♣ Over 4♥ it is really tough call. Good topic, I am waiting to hear from others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 canonical pass pard, who's got like 0-1 clubs, will certainly manage to scrap up a bid if he has some cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 4NT is to play but I am too weak for that. So pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRW Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Pass over 4♣. Tank over p's 4♥, but I think I'd probably chicken out. As has been pointed out, even when p holds a dream hand, there is a significant risk of a club ruff at trick 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I think I'm passing and then hanging partner by bidding 6N (get your ruff now!). If partner has AKQ-7th and out, well it's not the first time I've gone off in slam, not to mention I might still make on a club lead.

the_clown Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Pass followed by 5♣. Normally I dont like to punish partner for balancing but this hand is so good that 5level should be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you bid now?[/hv] IMODouble = Competitive, 4♥/4♠/4N/5♦ = NAT, 5♣ = 2-suiter.Pass = 10, 4N = 9, Double = 8.Over 4♣, 4N = Natural seems a sensible meaning. Or it could be straight Blackwood.4N (Keycard) = 10, 5N (Pick a slam) = 9, 6♥ = 8, 6N = 7, 5♣ (Blame transfer) = 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomSac Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I wonder what sober Justin would do. lol well I agree with PHANTOM, I would pass (since there is no bid w/e) and I would keycard over 4H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
