Interesting one from this weekend

[Free]

You hold:

 

[hv=d=e&v=b&s=st98542ht7d9763c2]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv]

 

And the bidding goes (you're sitting South):

 

1♦ - pass - 1♠ - Dbl

pass - ???

 

Is there any good option available?

Yes, rdl my partner lol :)

 

I don't want to pass that and I don't see anything than 2♥ :)

Hi,

 

to answer your question: No.

But the danger may not be as high as you may think,

if the opponents play support recontra, opener has

denied 3 card support.

Another possibility: They play weak jumb shifts, which

would also decrease the probability, that they will

have a resonable trump fit.

 

Pass and try to look like a man or a woman :) , who made

a free choice.

 

With kind regards

Pard seems to have 1426 and a battleship. Pass seems ok, but if pard is the sort of person who would double with a strong 55, then 2♣ comes to mind, intending to pass pard's 2/3♥ rebid.

[Gerben42]

Pass confidently. Even 1 down is good for us and they know it. They don't know they are probably making it, that's your secret. They'll bid something else, saving you until partner doubles again.

pass...hate it but they haven't sat. -160 is better than -200 anyways.

[pclayton]

Pass.

 

Pard is not marked with a huge hand - its just as likely LHO has a good hand. Pulling to 1N or 2♥ doesn't seem like a winning proposition to me.

 

I'll take my chances, hoping for +200, or hoping that -160 or -360 isn't too bad against their 3N.

 

If LHO redoubles, I'll probably pull to 1N :P

[flytoox]

Pass, no real alternative.

If LHO redoubles, I'll probably pull to 1N :P

Hi,

 

I am pretty sure, that he can't redoubles,

because it will be SOS.

 

With kind regards
