Jinksy Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'm far from confident, but X at any form of scoring. P might well have a trump stack and an easy penalty pass when we have nothing on, and I generally prefer to play with P's that it's primarily the hand making the final decision that accounts for the vul. Meanwhile, if P has 3-5 or conceivably even 4-4 in the majors, a heart contract will probably play better, since we can ruff diamonds in the short hand. There's always the chance P will turn up with clubs, of course. I hear some backwater corners of the world still allow contracts in that suit.

masonbarge Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I apologize for the rough edges on my post. I'm brand new to BBO and just discovered the Hand Editor. I have also lost the hand :( The winning answer in this case -- and I should have said that the actual hand was at matchpoints -- was "Pass", which earned 68%. Anything else puts you at 35% or below. I'd guess at IMPs, you would have a lot more company in spades (3S, 4S) or hearts (double). I said 3 Spades for @35%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
