Hammer time #8


Fluffy

Recommended Posts

I realize the club 8 is a scary card (since it looks like I have an infinite number of clubs -- sort of) but aside from the symbology I have little of use for partner and not only do not see x of 4c I have to wonder if they can make 5 knowing where virtually every card is. The fact the opps are in a :misfit: does not help much if lho is looking at 7 clubs:)) Oh PASS

Opponents are S.Skorchev and B. Popov.

 

This is a tough one, we have half the deck, partners cards are sitting over openers, the hand looks a misfit and they are at the 4 level. I want to double and I think I will but I will be preparing an apology in my head before dummy tracks. And usually that is a sign that I probably should pass!

I rank

  1. Double = Penalty (You didn't double 3). Speculative but the Walrus would agree.
  2. Pass = Fair prospects of a plus score.

I had been very inactive with penalty doubles, and decided to switch to a more active one... not on the best moment, Skorchev found a 4 bid and they found an unbeateable game, which was doubled for an overtrick.

 

Good news is that the board was lost anyway as they let 3NT make at the other table.
