Jinksy Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'm not crazy about my 2♦ bid - wasn't there a risk I could play there? Having got this far, I'll venture 5♥. I don't like it much, but I know X is ending the auction, and I doubt we'll score much for letting them play in 5♦. On a really bad day, they'll make it. (ETA if double was penalties over 1N, I double now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 doesn't double show my hand perfectly now? lots of convertible values and extra length. yeah i might be endplaying partner, but such is life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't it depend on what it would have been before? If pens, then I guess it shows a hand like this. If something else (in which case 2♦ was presumably forcing after all), don't we need it just to show a big hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesleyC Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Double looks clear. Unilaterally forcing our side to the 5 Level is not winning bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 http://www.eurobridg...rd=012.35..1210 As you can see -550 was a very popular score, better than 5♠ -800 at least, but not overall good. There are more people playing 6♦ than 5♠X so perhaps 5♠ would had won the board, who knows?. 5♥ would certainly not win the board though.
