Only 4 LTC and P obv less than overcall at L2 which could be as many as 10pts which could give you quite a pts advantage (poss 28) it may be worth a 5D bid which may lose but be worth the sacrifice - according to vulnerability. And whether you play Acol or 5cd M might have a bearing I suppose but no doubt you’ve already considered that. Not much help sry - I’m sure you’re prob more advanced than me to do a call like this.

mycroft Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 [hv=pc=n&s=s7hkq8dakjt85ckq5&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=1sd4spp]133|200[/hv]Many people would say that this is why you overcall 2♦ with even a hand this strong. Now, you get to double 4♠ and you get the point across. Since you decided (whether because you wanted to keep all suits in play, or because you thought you were too strong for 2♦) to double, you've basically priced yourself into showing your diamonds now. You're likely showing something closer to [hv=pc=n&s=s8haqdakjt853ckq8]133|100[/hv] but anything's a lie now. Unfortunately, your hand doesn't have much defence, and if you double, partner might pass and one of your round suits could be zero tricks (and diamonds could also be only one). Or if partner doesn't pass, she *will* pick the 4-3 heart fit instead of the 3-6 diamond fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hand diagram tool is the icon that looks like a spade with 2 vertical red bars on the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliebol Posted January 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Tx will try to use hand diagram next time, this is from an alt tournament and the players actions were all over the place. 4sp made doubled though you could pose declarer a problem later in the hand p was 4243 with the sp jack which was finessed.
