Edited to correct for there being 5 Aces in the deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I suppose East thought West's pass is for penalties whereas West though his pass showed equal length in the majors... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I believe the average player doesn't have a good understanding of what to do after the take-out double, either from the perspective of the responder or advancer. I like to play the redouble to show a 10+ HCP's hand that will likely double them for penalties. And if that's the meaning of the redouble, then advancer wants to make sure his/her side gets to their best fit and then Pass usually means 'you pick your best suit'; I used to play that the Pass showed some cards in the redoubled suit and no particular or interesting suit to show then partner could pass knowing they didn't have a good fit (usually opener would bid again, though) or partner did take it out to his/her best suit in case he was 'scared'. In any case, it is a good idea to have a discussion on these matters with regular partners for they can lead to abnormal results, like the one shown here.

ahydra Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 This is definitely an interesting hand - apparently there are five aces in the pack. ahydra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 This is definitely an interesting hand - apparently there are five aces in the pack....and 6 key cards. If we found the double fit it would be kind of cool to use 7KCB, even though it sadly means going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
