Cthulhu D Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Ignoring the poorbridge.com bidding demonstrated below by NS, what is the difference between PASS and RDBL for you? [hv=d=n&v=n&b=5&a=1hp1s(ART%20RELAY)p3hp3s(13%2B%205%2B%20!s)p4sp4n(RKCB)p5h(2%20no%20Q)d]133|100[/hv] East has a void and it went all float, making exactly (no slam makes), but it would have been nice to have an agreement about Pass and RDBL here. I think it makes sense to Pass to be heart tolerance and RDBL to be to play, but I'm not actually sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinksy Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 It seems like the question is one about meta-agreements. Presumably (but not necessarily) meta-agreements for redoubles, in which case mine would be 'XX is for blood if it can be' - which to me would normally be up to the three level (though wank seemed to be claiming in another thread that was a level too high), but here it obviously can.

mycroft Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 When this came up two years ago, I played XX as "go ahead, run like a stripe-tailed ape" (or more correctly, "I'm fine with playing 5♣, how about you?") - they didn't, and while the finesse I was concerned about was onside, +1000 beat +980 anyway. I would take pass as noncommittal, perhaps even concerned about the requested lead, and any number of spades as "I heard 'em, who cares."

mr1303 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Pass is I'm interested in whether you have first or second round control, redouble is FYO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinksy Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 You're pretty high to be investigating whether opener bid 3♥ on Kxxxxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhu D Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I had considerable hearts support (I was south and had a completely undisclosed JTx in H), so perhaps I should rdbl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monikrazy Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I play that pass denies first round control in hearts - redouble promises it (ace or void) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 This is a little different situation. I don't think meta agreements apply. p has jump rebid in ♥. Don't need much to play in ♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trump Echo Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 With my regular partner, South would redouble with an Ace or a King/singleton in Hearts. With neither, he would pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
