Scoring: IMP

---

Hello, this is the twenty-second thread in the big poll. Please provide the most probable result after East opens 1♠ and you either

a) pass
b) double
c) bid 2♥.

Please do a cross imp result like:

a-b:
a-c:
b-c:

(a-c means the imps a wins over c)

Thanks :) Please try to do all 30 hands also :)

(hey sweet, East didn't open a 15-17 NT because it's way too strong. nice hands)

[helene_t]

a: 3NT-2, +100
b: 3NT=, -400 (dbl allows EW to rightside the contract and guess diamonds right)
c: 3NT=, -400

a-b: 11
a-c: 11
b-c: 0

a: 1♠-P-1N-P-2N-P-3N. Down two on natural heart lead. +100.
b: 1♠-X-2♣-P-2N-P-3N. Making on a heart lead as south is squeezed and is marked with most of the cards. -400.
c: 1♠-2♥-X-P-3N. As before, -400.

a-b = 11 IMPs (500)
a-c = 11 IMPs (500)
b-c = 0 IMPs

agree with helene, pass the clear winner here, anything else gives away the contract.

[Codo]

A 3 NT -2 +100
B C yes, auto squeeze somehow + 400

AB +11
AC +11
BC =0

[shyams]

[jdonn]

a. 1♠ p 1NT p
2NT p 3NT ppp
+100
b. 1♠ X 1NT (clubs) p
2NT p 3NT ppp
+100
c. 1♠ 2♥ X p
3NT ppp
-400

I've been having EW play transfers over the double all along, I had no idea it would pay off like this lol.

a-b: 0
a-c: +11
b-c: +11

Jack playing 2001 BWS on championship setting says:

a 4se+2 -480
b 4se+2 -480
c 3se+3 -230

a-b 0
a-c -6
b-c -6

(Yes, Jack trying to beat the contract under leads the ♥A after winning the ♠A and never scores it)

I have EW finding the Spade game when South overcalls 2 hearts, making on a diamond lead, so:

a NS +100
b NS -400
c NS -420

a-b 11IMP
a-c 11IMP
b-c 1IMP
