Echognome Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 It stops me. I have no good call other than the Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I pass, maybe partner does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamaco Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Pass.If pard can't act, most likely we should stay out of the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Yes, easy pass. 2NT shows about an ace more than this (at least), and double is revolting. Partner isn't barred from bidding with a suitable hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ochinko Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 It's not the level, it's the suit. Can't double without four hearts, can't bid a 4-suit minor at the 2nd level either. I not only pass 2Sp, I'd pass 1Sp as well. This, of course, is valid only in a direct position. In a balancing position I bid 1NT (playing 15-17 NT). Petko Added:Just to be clear, because 1NT is insufficient after 2Sp: I pass in all positions. Overcalling 2NT after a weak 2 is an exception of the rule of balancing. It requires the same strength both in direct and in balancing position (16-18) because you have no guarantee that the responder is weak too.

Fluffy Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 did partner open 2♠? then I might trry 3♠, but probably will bid 4 anyway. If it was opponent who bid anything, the onyl bids against I would not pass are 1♥ and pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 pass. edit: If partner opened 2S I would just bid 4S...I thought (think?) RHO opened 2S, in which case I'd pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Huh? This post isn't clear at all who the weak 2 bidder is......... If pard opens 2♠ - if playing Ogust I'll try 2N. I want to be in game opposite a random hand with AK-6th of spades. Not playing anything fancy, I'll just raise to 3♠ and double 4♥ and the theory that I'm not settling for +100 against our +140. Passing and selling out to 3♥ seems very cowardly to me at MPs. If RHO opens 2♠ I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double ! Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 PASS (I interpret the post as saying that rho opened 2 spades) a 2NT overcall shows a balanced 15-18 ( not unusual for minors), and at least one spade stopper. 10 of the spades for this hand are theoretically now accounted for, so partner is likely to be short and, with sufficient values, may balance if lho also passes. Hand might likely be a misfit. DHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Huh? This post isn't clear at all who the weak 2 bidder is... On BBF, when there is only one hand posted in a diagram it is the South hand. Like everyone else, I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
