Scoring: IMP

(P)-P-(1NT)-P
(2♥)-P-(3♠)-P
(P)-?

1NT is 14-16

You ask about super-accepts. 3♠ shows 4 spades, no weak doubleton.

I'd pass!

[Fluffy]

KJ10 AQ10 make me pass, change it something anti positional such as QJ10 AK10 and boy that's another story (history for hanp ) still find this one borderline

[hanp]

You are kfay, you are.

Pass.

[bluecalm]

I am passing even non-vul
Good ad for treatment described by Brink where dbl of transfer bid is t/o for transferred suit.

[mcphee]

Surely we are not going to bid now. It is my feeling this hand should have bid 2S as t/o over the transfer.

If only you have this treatment for this one hand. I am afraid though it is more useful as 2 suiter with ♥.

Yes pass is probably the odds position since you need partner to hold good ♥ and he was unable to X the 2♥ bid. A counter example of not passing you hold

The opps are playing a 15-17 NT and you hear the auction
(p) p (1NT) ? (IMO this is a clear pass)
(2S)* X (P) ? (IMO this is a clear 4♠ call) *->♣

While luck to make was needed game rates to be a fair shot.

lol kfay. you're the man, dude.

If we had a most-interesting-man-in-BBF award, we'd be cheersing Dos Equis to you.

[Phil]

Since Kfay is in medical research he apparently has unrestricted access to the pharmacy.

Not tempted to bid.

at MP this is a GREAT gamblers hand for a penalty X to try for a top I estimate
that you would score almost 100% on close to 65% of hands and get complete zeroes on other 35%--- for every ten hands your MP score will be roughly 64% pretty darn good


AT IMPS you will also gain imps on close to 65% of the hands and lose on 35% but the mathmatics are a tad different. I estimate out of ten hand 4 will go down 1
for a gain of about 3 imps each (12 total) 2.5 will go down 2 OR 3 for a gain of 8 IMP EACH (20) imps so we will gain 32 imps every ten hands

The problem is even if they make ONLY 3 the other 3.5 hands the average loss
is 11 imps per hand so every ten hands we will lose 38.5 imps for a grand total of minus 6 imps every ten hands.

ALL of the above applies ONLY when you are BEHIND the 1NT opener not in front of---in this case your are anti-positional and should pass.

[jjbrr]

would you care to explain where you got those numbers? lol

Kfay your thread titles are getting so so so annoying that I can't even stand to read the content.

Wow how can North not redouble this? He knows ♥K is on and both opponents are balanced! ITS NORTH WHO IS CRAZY!

[Phil]

You do realize most of the time partner will hold about a balanced 6-9?

Isn't that what he held this time?

Lucked out with 3 of 5 DJ DK HK CQ CA onside. Try 1 of 6, 2 of 5.
Got lucky, good story.
