awm Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 As for passing: [hv=n=saxxhaqxdkxcxxxxx&w=sqjtxxhxdjtxxxckx&e=skxxhjxxdqxxcaqjt&s=sxxhktxxxxdaxxcxx]399|300|[/hv] If I pass, LHO bids 1♠ and RHO bids 2♠. Surely I'm not bidding now when LHO is still unlimited and I have to come in at the three-level. And I wouldn't expect partner to find a balance on a flat 13 with three spades. So we get to defend 2♠, which we can hold to eight tricks on best defense. Of course, partner may not find the ♦K/♥A lead and try a trump or a club, in which case opponents make three. Rather poor compensation for our making 4♥ game, wouldn't you say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 i voted 'other' because i think it shows 6 cards but i don't know why it has to be 11+ points... if 1s is 100% forcing and i'm 1=6=3=3 what else am i to do with a typical 8/9 count? With a typical 1633 8/9 you bid 2♥ previous round jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
