ahydra Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 With partner a passed hand and a flat shape, plus the vulnerability just asking LHO to double, I think we best pass this. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 rho is often (but not always) stealing at these colours but lho is a very dangerous dude. So is partner. If we can make anything or go down 1 they probably won't pass a direct bid but may be able to balance. Pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Very tough, but with today's light openings and a passed partner who couldn't open, bidding looks too risky as LHO may well have a big hand and a bad attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Nice problem, dangerous to bid, dangerous not to bid. To me the problem is that if I bid, we could easily reach the wrong game, and that would sway me towards pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hate to pass but think it best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 If I "knew" what level and denomination was best, I would probably bid. Double is flexible but may lose hearts. 3♥ may lose spades. A lot of times when you can make 3♥/3♠ you will be in game going down. If partner wasn't a passed hand, bidding is more appealing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Thanks to all for replies. This was in ACBL cross-imps GIB event. GIB does not open very light. And when GIB comes from pass it is hard to know wtf is going on. It can have 12 balanced or 10-11 very shapely hands. I was leading the event when this came I paused for about a minute or two and finally decided to pass. With a human partner I would have passed easily. I was the only one who did not bid 3♥. 3 ♦ went down one and I lost 11 imps. Pd had some 9 or 10 count with 5-5 majors.http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif I still won the event by a big margin despite this -11 imps though. I also polled it in BW, if you want to see results and who voted for what, it is here http://bridgewinners...m-2-tis3dwdzkm/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 With a real partner you could hope for a 3H reopen, the way i play if im not able to open 2H but later im good enough to to bid 3H vul its because im 2 suited with at least 5H. 6H4S,5H5S or 5H+5C. With a 4522 i would probably X or pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 This depends on partnership's reopening style, I used to reopen with any 10 count on this type of hand, so you could pass for sure partnering me. But now I am getting little more conservative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggwhiz Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 This was in ACBL cross-imps GIB event. I've always thought that playing with robots would affect your game in a bad way and I quite often see players in speedballs bidding 3♥ on hands like this and getting killed more often than not. Scratch my head wondering what are they doing and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
