gszes Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 vulnerable with a bunch of quacks and the possibility of the opps getting a poortrump split--seems like an ideal time to bury my head in the sand and quietly pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowerline Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 No double. But double when not vulnerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Sometimes you need to know the strength of the opposition, but on this one I double regardless, and I wouldn't regard it as horrible playing imps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 but on this one I double regardless, and I wouldn't regard it as horrible playing imps. +1 and you will get a heart lead against 3♠ much more often than you will go for a number.

BillPatch Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 +1 and you will get a heart lead against 3♠ much more often than you will go for a number.Yes, and getting the opponents to the three level is ten times as important as directing the lead.

Vampyr Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 +1 and you will get a heart lead against 3♠ much more often than you will go for a number. Don't just say +1; upvote! I am just wondering whether Lebensohl is played here, or whether doesn't make a lot of sense when we are a passed hand and partner had nothing to say over ♠. (LOL and I'd really better ask my partner's opinion!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillPatch Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 2N 2 places to play...Sorry, the General chart in the ACBL only allows NT overcalls that show multiple suits below 4NT if at least one of the suits is specified. Of course ACBL regs only apply to Anglo-North America and Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMoe Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Don't you have three?...that means partner can't miss! I have misgivings about partner making a speculative pass of a double here. Will pass partners 3-level advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Anyway, back to the question. This seems like a typical prebalance; I think we just have to do it as a matter of policy; we have easily half the deck -- 17 to 23 is where the LAW applies to part-score competition, and we could have 24. Yes, Partner can bid 2NT as a scramble to pick a minor. IMO, Leben should not be used in OBAR auctions, although some people use the name indiscriminately.

eagles123 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 well yes I did double. It didn't matter on the result because N just bid 4s (which he would've done if I'd passed also) was just interested on whether it was right in theory to x thanks all Eagles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Sorry, the General chart in the ACBL only allows NT overcalls that show multiple suits below 4NT if at least one of the suits is specified. Of course ACBL regs only apply to Anglo-North America and Mexico. I did not look up the wording, but I am 100% sure that who wrote the GCC intended to exclude 2NT in this position showing two arbitrary suits. It is the standard meaning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
