发帖数: 623 | 1 Near the end of the 2-day swiss event, you started to grow tired of this
bridge thing. Perhaps you should do something else that is actually more
enjoyable and try to get a life?
You hold A9 AT875 T73 AT43 and opened 1H first seat. Lefty came in with 2N,
showing minors, pd passed, and RHO tried 3S and played there. A weird auction,
you told yourself.
You have too many aces to lead from but only one seemed correct, so you led
the CA. Dummy tabled down

your pd deals and passes, RHO opens 1S. Your hand is
simple enough for a takeout double. LHO jumps to 4S and wants
to play there, but your pd shows his strong discontentment by covering it with
4NT.
That's two suiters, you choose 5C and pd corrects to 5D. Opps
keep silent. Now it's your turn again, what are you going to do? |
|
a*******s
发帖数: 295 | 3 Well, perhaps it's a good choice to pass.
But I think I will at least correct to hearts, just becuase I feel
more confortable with it. :)
The next point is that I feel it's hard to believe he bid 4NT with
a so-so 5-4 distribution in reds. And given such vulnerability, his
intention must be making the game instead of saving our lost in
four spades.
Therefore, I took a deep breath, leaped to 6H, which, inevitably,
doubled by RHO and redoubled by pd :)
Here comes the dummy:

with this hand, if I dbl, pd may pass, converting it to penality. But if I

In reality, RHO opened a perfectly normal 1C and LHO was broke.
well
Holding North's hand, after the preemptive 3C you have an everyday responsive
double and South would bid his hearts naturally. Thus, the preempt only makes
it easy to find the right strain.
And you honestly believe that you should pass holding TWO KINGs after partner
double then freebid at 3 level? |
|

发帖数: 623 | 13
I can't see how that could be the case. Since if LHO is 5-3-3-2, then RHO has
a longer D suit and what's the 1C opening? If LHO has a singleton, then that's
what preempts are for. In fact, if LHO is 1-3-4-5 or 3-1-4-5, 7C is a cheap
save, and you could already be well placed by just being allowed to play in
game.

The decision whether you treat your hand as 1-suited or 2-suited starts from
the 1st bid. And you may never be able to recover after that. If you double,

发帖数: 65 | 15 Right. I think at least technically, you should keep the strip squeeze in
mind. BTW that was a red 4H so you can believe 4H is not a joke but 8
solid.(I'm not gonna do detailed analysis here)
Therefore, to keep the squeeze possiblity, you have to retain your 4th spade
as the threat againt RHO, or the throw-in card.
In reality, Meltzer cashed all the diamonds pitching a SPADE. Clearly she was
relying everything on the club break and the squeeze ending wasn't in her
mind.

发帖数: 545 | 19 i agree with lifemonster's analysis here. RHO apprently has d fit for his pd,
so 5c must be some direct-leading bid and fit-showing new suit. In this case,
you and ur pd must have dbl fit as well. So it is very likely 5c or 5d can
make, and you can mk 5s or 5h too. No matter what, bidding rather than dbl is
better. The problme with 5h here is that in case opp bid to 6d(who knows?
though not veryy likely), pd may lead h from kxxx, which may turn out be a

发帖数: 623 | 22 The other benefit is it tends to right side the contract: your pd and your RHO
have the strength and if your pd plays the hand, his hand will not be led
through.
Furthermore, as typical with transfers, it allows you to enter the auction
with negative looking hands. My belief is after 1X-double-, a new suit bid at
2 level, although non-forcing, should still be somewhat forward looking and
should not be scratching. But apparently people have different belief on this
issue...

I don't think your thinking of his being singleton/void
necessarily has to do with his double---
You have 4 Jxxx and RHO has showed at least good 5.
Your partner doesn't have to bid anything for him to
more likely have 1- spades than have 2+ spades.
His (happening to have) spade stopper is not necessarily
good enough reason for the double to be bad---
Switch his SA with C9, that will make 2N out of question
for him. Why is double not a good option for him in that
case? (Note h |

发帖数: 3277 | 25 unusual vs unusual is popular.
suppose your partner opens 1H, your RHO bids 2NT,
now your double shows that you want to penalize opponents in at least
one suit. your 3C shows a good hand with hearts, at least invitational.
3D: shows good hands with spades. 3H: competitive.
3S: construcative, nonforcing.
The basic principle is that:
cuebidding opp's lower suit shows a good hand with the lower rank
unbid suit;
cuebidding opp's higher suit shows a good hand with the higher rank
unbid suit.

发帖数: 295 | 30 Admittedly, your play did have some point.
After ruffing the 1st trick, you can tell that your RHO doubled with
spade AK and trump Ace. Yes, he might have trump AJxx, but there's
no particular reason to commit yourself to that layout. The best way
is just following the percentage play, leading trump twice from table.
Generally, if you are worried too much over nothing, you lose more.
and I believe most of the time, if a bad distribution exists, you can
smell it.

The moral learn this time is that I still cant give up club. Actually, after
4D overcall, there is a clue that i have club fit. I didnt dbl, so denies
spade, i didnt pass, so heart should be short. 5D should show a single suit.

sometimes, 2H may get passed out, but it's rare.
Also, 2H then later 4H may describe your defensive potential
better, but even like that, if you partner can bid 5H
