Scoring: IMP


All white at imps the bidding goes Pass-4♦ to you. Do you pass or try something? (presumably something=double but feel free to surprise me ;))

Tougher, I think pass is right again.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Pard's a passed hand, so I'll take the risk we don't have a game and pass. Would be much tougher if pard weren't passed.

"Snookered" is exactly the word, by the way :rolleyes:

Pass of course. Sure you aren't happy with that development (although you aren't down yet) but how is it a hard decision to pass that?

Pass. RHO will be after this hand like "take that namyats fans!"
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I would also pass, even if partner was unpassed hand I would wait for him to reopen.

This hand was actually from Polish Team Quarterfinals and I saw it on Vugraph. In both rooms they doubled. Partner of the doubler had Qxx xxxxx Qxx xx. At one table he bid 4♥ and they everntually ended up in 4♠X down 3 for -500. In the other room he passed(!), 4♦X down 3 for +500.
