Retired ex-School Psychologist, worked in a middle school in the South Bronx. living outside of NYC. Not an expert, never claimed to be, never will be. Became LM over 35 years ago but don't ask me how? Frequently play on BBO - (Double !) but play live bridge relatively infrequently. Memory and attention/ concentration skills are clearly not what they once were. If I post an problem, even if it seems like such a no-brainer and elementary to you, something likely occurred at the table where a disagreement occurred or there was some difference in approach or style. So please view it as respecting and appreciating your input.

Thank You
Read more »Where did E/W go wrong on this hand? So many possibilities. So many imps lost. 5HX made 6 (we kept them out of slam?)
Playing fairly standard 2/1GF with strong NT, weak 2 bids, weak jump-shifts, support dbls & rdbls. 1♦ was 3+ ♦s
Spot cards are accurate.
Do you agree with West's initial Pass? Do you agree with the 1♠ bid?
How do you play the Double of 2♠ by East? Do you agree with the Double?
After 4♠ - p - p - 5H: do you play this as a forcing pass situation? (fwiw: the partnership agreement was yes.)
If yes, does that affect other bids? Is yes, how?
