These threads are always terrible.

I can't believe this is a real thread. If you bid 3H with this, not only might you get doubled pretty easily, but partner will bid on way too many hands. If he bdis 4H or 3S or 3N, may get doubeld there, or you may just go minus instead of plus (very very often). If you actually do have a game, it is quite likely partner would have balanced anyways. This is fundamental bridge, and if you are overcalling you are just doing something that is so grossly unsound. If you want to cater to the small subset of hands where game makes and partner cant balance, good luck. edit: sorry I repeated some of what jdonn said.

I can't smoke it and whenever I try I can't breathe for 2 days. Probably related to having athsma. I always thought I was just allergic to it until I ate it and I had pot brownies and there was no problem. FWIW I see this as no worse than drinking alcohol.

3S doesn't even promise 6 of them you know...very obvious 4S.

I would bid Michaels on the last one. The key thing for partner to judge is whether or not to bid 4S, knowing I have a 2 suiter should help him in that.

Thanks, that makess sense.

I think it's clear to pass.

Thx to those who picked me, all I'll say is I have never felt more motivated and hungry for a tournament than I do right now, so hopefully I won't disappoint. Oh, and Kev is the nuts :rolleyes:

I can understand it being forcing if RHO had passed, but it's silly to play it that way over the 2H bid.

Definitely pass, not close. The law is terrible.

yeah 4N, we could easily have 6 of a minor. I would just bid 3N if partner had bid 2H.

5N

LOL

It's not an overbid

Just out of curiosity is "seldom" a horrible answer? Perhaps I have been watching too much 24, but if some situation arose where someone had information that could DIRECTLY save like a million lives, I would think it was justified. That being said, it is a completely artificial situation where it might occur, and obviously the Bush administration crossed that line wayyyy before it could even be considered legit, and they are criminals in my eyes.

2H

Jumps after a negative X being forcing is a good agreement, at the very least it stops stupid negative Xs.

HOW DO I TURN OFF CAPS LOCK?

Why would it be an interesting coincedence anyways?

Making a negative double is beyond terrible.

3S? lol

Undiscussed :( But I suppose you could assume it would be taken as a stopper ask. I would start with 3S then.
