Jinksy Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 If partner is supposed to pull with that, I'm not sure what our X is supposed to be for. Even if he knew we were exactly 1444, he'd probably still pass the X, but we have 4N for a two-suiter, so what's left? 0454 exactly? ♥s and ♦s specifically? If the latter, what would opener's 4N followed by a pull to 5♦ of 5♣ be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 4n followed by 5d shows this hand also, the question is just if we want to keep the door open for defending. I think p should pull to 4n intending to correct 5c to 5d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 partner is xx QJxx Txx J987 and sat. They have 10 trumps, a stiff in each red suit, and of course the CT is well placed, so both games make I was beginning to doubt double but I came to the conclusion that partner should often pull. I thought maybe I was resulting but I'm glad PhilKing posted the same thing. slight edit In my world, partner pulls even with balanced junk like that. Obviously passing could be right, but partner may actually have a takeout double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowerline Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 w/w MPs x AKTx AKQxxx Ax, we deal 1D (1S) p (4S)? This hand is too strong for a 1♦ opening.In the given situation I would double and bid 5♦ over 5♣. S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
