Maybe I should add that to the other 5 conditions for likely success. Since the first hand arose in a team game (as opposed to IMP pairs), it's hard to judge how 500 would score at MPs but I'd estimate that it would be worth 12 out of 13 mps.Phasmidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870140728729031615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181380552290465298.post-5727267311081569362015-05-23T14:16:58.780-04:002015-05-23T14:16:58.780-04:00This was IMPs, but what about MPs?

I think it has a lot more going for it in that case.Memphis MOJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653631347560307425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181380552290465298.post-41195047462647717652015-05-14T15:44:03.736-04:002015-05-14T15:44:03.736-04:00After reading this through again, I realized that ...After reading this through again, I realized that the main point may not have come across very clearly. Leaving aside the second example as an anomaly, then if the most perfect situation for passing a support double resulted in only a 2 IMP gain, it's probably not a hugely successful strategy in general. In other words, if you're thinking of passing a support double--don't!Phasmidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870140728729031615noreply@blogger.com
