Yet another random game on BBO. IMPs.

---

Pass or pull? If you pull, what's your choice?

[ahydra]

Given we've done nothing but pass, surely partner won't double unless he thinks he can set it, e.g. three cashing aces? I'd leave it in - it may be that +100 is par.

On the other hand pd bid 2 suits at 5 level vulnerable vs a pd who has been passing, and I have fit for both, one of them being KTxxx.

If I pull I am of course bidding 6♣. And that is probably what I would do at the table.

He may think he has 3 cashing aces, but looking at our massive fit, aren't you worried his aces aren't cashing after all?

I'd be more worried about missing slam. It depends on how much wasted ♦ honors pd has. I expect him to hold at least 6-5. With 7-4 or 6-4 he could bid 4 NT.

x A AKxxxx AJxxx probably cold slam
x A KQJxxx AQJxx maybe he would not double, idk.

In some hands he may hold a spade void.

double isn't penalties lol

it's very obvious to bid. my defence is negative [length opposite partner's high cards] and that length and club holding is enormous for partner.

i expect 6c to be on a finesse at worst.

[MrAce]

Who knows what dbl is for. May he be asking for a ♥ lead when opponents have a hidden 6-5 or 7-4 ♥ fit? I doubt it though.

[PhilKing]

Pass could be right, but in my view that is wild and gambling.

For me, 6♣ is clear. Whilst it is not unlikely that both contracts are one off, there is a pretty big chance that either they make, we make or both.

[Manastorm]

I would try 6♣ also. I am not sure what 5NT would be, but I think an ace or void somewhere would be nice. However I am not sure how I passed it once, so hard to say. On second thought I guess an ace or void is out of question. I think the sequence could be replicated up to the last double with many hands, but as things are partner confirmed he has lots of values and cant let go. x Ax AKxxx AQxxx is quite weak and we can make 6, shuffle abit we dont make 6. If I give a magnificent hand like - AK, AKQxxx, AJxxx, should he open 2♣ already, not bid 5♣, but 4NT or would he even double 5♠? Hard to say, but I feel there are more reasons to bid than pass. More I think partner could have more I consider 5NT and more unbelievable partner's hand becomes.

[eagles123]

We have a huge hand bidding seems super clear

[whereagles]

It's a huge double fit. I'll pull.

[SteveMoe]

Pull, concerned they will find a making slam in their massive two suit Majors fit. Will bid 6♣ hoping to avoid a ♣ ruff in a ♦ contract.
