Jinksy Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 How weak is weak, and what lead (if any) would X ask for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 6-11 is the agreement but non vul at first.... double would not ask for any specific lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Partners range is quite wide and the distribution will quickly become an open book for declarer. Anything other than pass is just a WAG and who knows maybe there is a 4s bid forthcoming and I know I would be a ton happier defending that than 3n. I might even x 4s with my probable 3 defensive tricks and a bidding partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Tempting though it is, again it just doesn't feel like I quite have enough to double. I'll pass. They may yet land in 4S ;) ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'm passing. As ahydra says, they could yet end up in 4 ♠. Also, it seems like partner probably has the rounded suits so 3 NT may not be a piece of cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhm Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Double Not so much because you can guarantee a set, but because opponents are guessing as well and suits are not breaking well for them. This could be a good investment. Rainer Herrmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Tempting though it is, again it just doesn't feel like I quite have enough to double. I'll pass. They may yet land in 4S ;) ahydra Do you not feel a confident X is MORE likely to push them to 4♠ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 yeah i'd smack this. bad breaks and so on. also might help partner with his lead to know they're in a marginal contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'd double if only to get the right lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Pass would be absolutely automatic in my partnerships. You'd need very unusual 1st Seat NIL preempting agreements to consider anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Think you have to double this one.Great series of posts, Fluffy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 http://www.eurobridg...rd=001.11..1210 This could had been a really funny one, at the other table they had combined disaster where a missunderstanding aobut minimum vs encouraging was followed by bad judgement and they reached 6NT X, for -800. Curiously, if declarer was a bit more awake he would had got away for -500 only after a "bad" defence. At our table we didn't double, but we defended better, a low club was led, and declarer erred playing the King from dummy, this allowed me to unblock ♣J, and now we had 7 easy tricks, had I doubled maybe we could had tied this board at -500 :) The contract is makeable ducking the first trick around, tough to find on the bidding, but perhaps a double makes it possible. What is more likelly is that double brings +300 in 4♠X after a diamond lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
