dble: 10
pass: 7
4 : 6

Aljoša: dble - 100%. devet poena u protivnicykim bojama i mali dubl u partnerovoj boji daju dobre sansxe za 100 ili 300 dok cyetiri tref ne mora biti unutra.

Andy: dble - 100%. to pass in these situations is not a winning tactic in a pairs tournament; to double is the most flexible bid. I think I have described my hand rather well - partner will make the right bid now

Bato: 4 - 100%. Marina često da probleme u kojima može dominirati jedan odgovor ili odgovori u jednoj boji. U ovom setu bi sa 5 x pass dobili bar 20 bodova. Idemo redom, u ovom primjeru je partner slab, ima najvjerojatnije dubl pik i tri karte tref. Ako nas kontriraju, što uopće nije nerealno, smo u nuli. Jedini razlog za 4 trefa je peti tref. Pass je svakako dobra opcija.

Brk: pass - 100%. Otvarač vjerojatno ima 2533 uz minimum. Konačno, nakon mog passa, on još može licitirati, pogotovo ako prva pretpostavka nije točna.

Dubo: 4 - 100%.

Eddie Kantar: dble - 100%. I think we can make 3C, I'm not sure we can make 4C and I think we can beat 3S a trick. This is pairs, so I do what I have to do.

Ivica: pass - 100%. Parski turnir!

Marina: dble - 70%. 4 - 30%.

Matthew & Pamela: dble - 100%. A difficult position at Pairs, where +50 or even +100 may be a poor score. The choice is to go for 300 or 130 in 4C. The 9 of diamonds makes me choose to defend. Lead a heart and hope they do not have enough trumps and shape to score 8 or 9 tricks.

Nikica: 4 - 100%.

Šenk: dble - 50%. pass - 50%. Po eni strani sem vse odlicitiral, po drugi pa smo na paru, oni v 2. manši ...

Todi: pass - 100%.

dble: 10
pass: 4

Aljoša: pass - 100%.

Andy: dble - 100%. I have to bid; the distributional hand has to enter the bidding, no matter how strong

Bato: dble - 100%. I ovdje pass ne bi bio slabi potez. Jedino opravdanje za kontru je to, da smo već pasirali. Distribucija je idealna, snaga baš nije (ni jedne desetke). Partner nije imao da se javi, a S je slab, gdje su poeni? Kod otvarača naravno, možemo dobro nasrkati, ali takav je bridge, treba biti konzekventan. Druga mogućnost je da partner ima dio herc poena, znamo da ima nikakvu distribuciju a nema ni boje da se javi. Sve je to jasno, ali ne na prvi pogled. Kontra izgleda kao automatizam, koji to uopće nije.

Brk: pass - 50%. dble - 50%. Na paru bih kontru proglasio skoro automatskom, no na timu je priča drugačija. Ipak,iako nerado moram uvažiti moderan agresivan pristup, koji me tjera da odgovore podijelim.

Dubo: dble - 100%.

Eddie Kantar: dble - 100%. If I don't double with this hand, when will I double?

Ivica: dble - 100%. 120%.

Marina: dble - 100%.

Matthew & Pamela: dble - 100%. If not now, when? Partner is well aware that the double is based on shape -- luckily we got to pass in first chair. Imagine the problem if West was an unpassed hand.

Nikica: pass - 100%.

Šenk: pass - 100%. Saj imam še partnerja.

Todi: dble - 100%.

Aljoša: 3 - 70%. 2 NT - 30%.

Andy: 2 NT - 100%. not perfect, but better than 3C

Bato: pass - 100%. Kontra je zabranjena, a za opciju 2 NT smo malo preslabi, bar po mom ukusu, a ne znam ni što bi značilo (u danom sistemu ne piše ništa ili ja nisam pronašao).

Brk: pass - 100%. Ako budem mogao, javit ću se naknadno.

Dubo: 2 NT - 100%.

Eddie Kantar: 2 NT - 100%. But I can be talked into overcalling 3C.

Ivica: 2 NT - 100%. Tanko, ali što mogu drugo.

Marina: 2 NT - 100%.

Matthew & Pamela: 2 NT - 100%. Not a pretty bid, but better than 3C, the only other choice.

Nikica: 2 NT - 100%.

Šenk: 2 NT - 50%. 3 - 50%. Ko sem dobil ta realni problem, sem pasiral. Mislim, da je to izgubna situacija (lahko se pasira, drugič bom moral izmišljati ...). 2 NT mi ni preveč všeč (vse stavi na eno licitacijo), po drugi strani pa tudi 3 tref ni idealno, torej 50%:50%.

Todi: 2 NT - 100%.

Aljoša: 3 - 100%.

Andy: 3 - 100%.

Bato: 3 - 100%. Jedini board gdje pass nije opcija. Ali je opcija nekakav QB kao pitanje za štoper herc (partner mora imati pik). Ali pošto sistem nije dorečen (npr. kao gore što je 2 NT direktno na otvor W2 u hercu ili piku, odnosno na 2 karo multi ili na gornju kombinaciju slabog bikolora – to se mora razlikovati i ne smije se igrati isto) se ni ovdje ne usuđujem licitirati 3 herca. 3 NT je realnija manša od 5 tref, a to zna reći i partner s Kx u trefu i herc štoperom. Mene nitko nije ništa posebno pitao pa sam se slobodno javio.

Brk: 3 - 100%. Radije podlicitiram kartu nego da preko 3H uđem u komplikacije ili u neizvjesnih 3NT.

Dubo: 3 - 100%.

Eddie Kantar: 3 - 100%. A bit of an underbid, so I will bid it loudly.

Ivica: 3 - 100%. Malo konzervativno.

Marina: 3 - 50%. 3 - 30%. 4 - 20%.

Matthew & Pamela: 3 - 100%. Invites 3NT with a heart stopper. Presumably partner has a spade stopper for his takeout double. I admit, I'll be lucky to survive this bid....but it's worth the try.

Nikica: 5 - 100%.

Šenk: 5 - 100%. "On a sunny day" je na imapas v igri tudi 6 tref (Axxx/x/AQxx/Kxxx), seveda ima lahko partner dva mala srca (kje pa so), zato bom licitiral v stilu "Licitiraj, kar misliš, da imaš". Seveda sploh ni rečeno, da je licitacije že konec.

Todi: 3 - 100%.

Aljoša: pass - 100%.

Andy: pass - 100%. I hope for 7D, 1S and one other trick; partner should have D support

Bato: pass - 100%. Suvisli partner ne licitira NT zato što mu moja boja ne odgovara nego zato što će s njom napraviti potrebne štihove. Opasnost je tref. Minimum partnera bi morao biti: Q10x, K109x, Kx, K10xx. Nisu toliko važni herc štoperi koliko je važan karo fit, inače nijedan kontrakt nema šansi.

Brk: pass - 100%. Jedina objektivna opasnost je da nam uzmu 5 trefova. Herc me uopće ne brine.

Dubo: pass - 100%.

Eddie Kantar: pass - 100%. I have no idea what to do, but passing is making me uneasy.

Ivica: pass - 100%.

Marina: pass - 70%. 4 - 30%.

Matthew & Pamela: pass - 100%. It's impossible to overrule partner here. Partner could have millions of hands for this bid, but most probably a diamond honor and at least one heart stopper, so why not go for it?

Nikica: pass - 70%. 4 - 30%.

Šenk: pass - 100%. Očitno prvič nisem mogel dati kontro po sistemu (kara nato bi bila high kontra !?), zato sedaj ne vidim razloga, da partner ne bi naredil 3 NT s honerjem v kari.

Todi: pass - 100%.
