Scoring: IMP


Hello, this is the sixteenth 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 :)

(maybe 4♠ opening by East?)

I'd open it 1S. The suit isn't that great and you have significant defense on the side. So even though one personally might not open it 1S, 1S is certainly within the realm of possibility.

Yes of course. I think I'd open it 1S more often than not, but 4S is not bad either.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

All roads lead to 4♠. This should make; a ♣Q lead is the only one to give declarer any sort of problem and he should still get it right.

a-b = 0 IMPs
a-c = 0 IMPs
b-c = 0 IMPs

Flat at 4♠.

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