Guest Jlall Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 3N. Maybe it'll make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 This is a bear of a problem. Conditions aren't stated, but I assume 2♥ is constructive, but not forcing. I'm going to try 3♦. If I hear 3♥, I'll bid 4♥. If I hear 3♠, I'll try 3N. And if I hear 4♣, I'll try 4♦. I see two huge flaws with 3N. The first is that they sometimes lead a spade and it will be floating through pard's stopper or non-stopper. The 2nd is that we probably have a better spot in hearts, even on a 5-2. And its not matchpoints, so why do I want to take the plunge when I don't have to right now. Its too bad we can't set up a forcing sequence with 2N, which really should be forcing. If there was federal legislation that said that 2N is NEVER to play, I'd support it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Isn't it likely that opener has 4S cards? A real tuff call as I want pard to bid 3NT so I am tempted to bid 2S and see if I can get him to bid 2NT.......if he rebids H I'll try 4.

luke warm Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 the problem with 2s is, partner might raise to 4 :D ... it's a gamble, but you're vulnerable and expect a diamond lead... 3nt looks good at imps, tho you could get ripped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvan14 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 2♠ should be ambiguous, not necessarily a real suit, but certainly values.I vote for 3♦, forcing and more representative of my hand.Actually, on this particular sequence, it should indicate real values in ♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I liked 4H but I see I am out on that cold limb all alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Partner rates to have xx in clubs, we rate to make then 5♣+2♦... we need partner with 2 quick tricks in 3NT. Wich is kinda hard but possible. I think I'll only bid 3♣ this time (but note my 2♣ was already very sound, not that sound though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
