Scoring: IMP

---

Hello, this is the twenty-fourth 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 :)

a: 4♥+2, +680
b: 6♥= +1430
c: + 1430

a-b: -13
a-c: -13
b-c: 0

All roads lead to 4♥ or 5♥. It's possible E/W try to sacrifice in 4♠ but N/S will probably just bid 5♥ over this. Slam is unlikely off two keycards regardless of the auction.

a-b = 0 IMPs
a-c = 0 IMPs
b-c = 0 IMPs

I though at first that pass was the most likelyl to miss slam, but then I read adam's post and hell, that's right. If anythign, since south passing and then cuebiding twice should show spade ace, north might blast 6♥ at some point.

The best way to bid slam is to set diamonds as fit . But I seems unlikelly.

ok, ok all in all I'll afree with adam, 0-0-0

pass could well lead to a horrbile result:
1 ♠ pass 2♠ ? If you pass here and south bids 3 ♠, good luck in finding anything at all.

But maybe this is not a big possibility, so I give all three ways + 680, flat board.

[shyams]

agree with awm. Flat board

Always 4♥, though they could luck into slam after bidding but never after passing.

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