FelicityR Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I was playing Solitaire - robots - earlier today, and whilst I would prefer to provide hands from actual play I was at a quandary what to do with this hand. Apologies in advance for not noting the full deal. [hv=pc=n&e=sah6532daq43cak92&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1h]133|200[/hv] And would the choice of bid be affected by the vulnerability too?

P_Marlowe Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Due to lack af alternatives: Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 yes pass. pass doesn't show a weak hand. it just shows a hand unsuitable for other actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelicityR Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 yes pass. pass doesn't show a weak hand. it just shows a hand unsuitable for other actions. Thank you for your replies. I did indeed reluctantly pass (after a bit of soul searching.) I like that interpretation that 'pass' doesn't show a weak hand, but a hand unsuitable for any other actions. Something all of us should learn irrespective of the high card point count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMoe Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Pass, adding if LHO bids ♠ and RHO rebids 1NT (or even 2♥) for example (partner passing), a double by you is now takeout of ♠ and shows an opening hand or better with ♥ cards. If the auction goes LHO 2♥ - P - (P), you can consider a 2N balance. Not only good to know passing is ok with this hand, it helps to know what your options are later in the auction.
