Scoring: IMP

2D-P-4H-P; 4S-AP. Apologies, I initially put that the oppo passed out 4H, this was not the case.

2D was a "bad" multi, 4H was pass-or-correct.

Your defence to a multi is X as 13-15 balanced or strong, bids are natural.

Both hands have automatic passes imo. Well done opps I guess, if they do random stuff like this they will get you sometimes.

[Fluffy]

yeah all the 3 passes are auto.

Wether West told you all the info he had with his experience with this partner about the 4♥ call belongs to another forum.

Are you sure that your double is better in the long run as a take out double against spades?

[gnasher]

This demonstrates a weakness of the standard English defence to a Multi. If North could show a takeout double of spades on the first round, that would make it rather easy.

I seem to recall West did infact correct to spades? Not that i think it changes much...

[MickyB]

I've corrected the original post, apologies, the comments make more sense to me now

Hi,

now the auction makes sense.

Given that we have only 3 spades, I was assuming that the passing out of 4H
was the random bid, although why one would pass with a weak two in spades
was not clear.

As it is now, I still think, that North should pass, but he may make a borderline
T/O X, if North passes, than South will pass as well.

With kind regards
Marlowe

In the equivalent weak-two sequence at our table our opponents didn't seem to have any difficulty:
  2♠ pass 4♠ 5♦
  pass 6♦

[Fluffy]

Codo and I would end up in 7♦, so there is no worries for this.

[MickyB]

Teammates bid 2D-P-4D, which allowed East in with a double. One pair told me they didn't get in after the auction started 2D-P-4C "Transfer to your major", I would have thought both hands could have acted there!

Damn, the previous thread where someone psyched a pass or bid 4H with 4-1 in the majors was much more hilarious!
