Scoring: IMP


Hello, this is the ninth thread in the big poll. Please provide the most probable result after East opens 1♠ and you either

a) pass
b) double
c) bid 2♥.

Please do a cross imp result like:

a-b:
a-c:
b-c:

(a-c means the imps a wins over c)

Thanks :) Please try to do all 30 hands also :)

A: E/W Reaches 3 or 4 spades, taking 9 tricks after a diamond lead- this lead is the only lead to beat 4 spade and a ugly lead, but what else?
I think 3 and 4 spade making and 4 spade - 1 are possible. Average -170

B: After a double E/W compete to 3 Spade: -140

C:After 2 Heart: 3 spade: -140

AB -1
AC -1
BC 0

Ultra flat, automatic sequences, same as awm

a-b: 0
a-c: 0
b-c: 0
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

this will all end up in 3♠, or maybe A in 2♠ IMO. Flat.

a.
1♠-p-2♠-p
p-2NT, we play 3♦

lose 2 hearts 2 diamonds and 2 clubs
-200

b.
1♠-x-2♥*-p
2♠-p-end

c. 1♠-2♥-2♠-pass

spades are -140 so

ab: -2
ac: -2
bc: 0
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Flat. On certain auctions NS compete but E takes the push anyway.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

It is a fact that most people here write as if their opinion is a dogmatic fact.

My opinion is that this ought to win the award for best self-referential quote of the new year.
