rmnka447 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 3 ♠ in a flash. What's outstanding feature of your hand? ♠. It would be nice to find a ♥ fit if one exists, but tell you partner the main feature of your hand. If the ♠ are bad, say ♠ Axxxx ♥ KQxx ♦ Kxx ♣ x, then you might consider doubling rather than bidding ♠. Like one late great player I knew always said, "Bid what you've got!!"

I'm suspecting partner had x, AKxxx Qxxx, xxx... and 3♠ went off on a foul split with 4♥ cold. 3♠ seems fairly obvious. Also depends if I know my opponents, against me partner could easily have a stiff spade and 4 trump tricks so X becomes more attractive.

nige1 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Imps all white, playing PrecisionP P 3C ?AKQ86 9876 K53 5 I rank3♠ = NAT. Almost a 6-card suit.Double = T/O. More landing places.Pass = NAT. More tempting before I read BBO expert advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagles123 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Personally I find this interesting and close. I would X but not sure it's right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I think I would X As well as not burying the Heart suit it also protects the position where partner has a penalty X of Clubs (or penalty pass of t/o X of Clubs, which is effectively the same thing but with a weaker lower strength limit). It is not inconceivable that Diamonds may be the right spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I prefer double to 3♠ by a large margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve2005 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 That there is such a wide divergence of views tells me it's close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
