Blofeld Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Small tripleton ♥ persuades me to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 2♦, don't want to enter the bidding later.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 agree, 2♦ for me... can lead them, can afford to have them led (for example, if lho ends up in spades) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 2♦. Lots of ways to win, only one way to lose. I'm not dbld yet. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Yeap, but I don't like it... The overcall will often make it easier for the opps to show a 4 card spade suit, but so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Quiet into the night but willing to listen and learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elianna Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I have definitely overcalled worse hands 2!d, so I see no reason why not, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temp3600 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 2D. The nice honors outweight the three small hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'm generally a conservative 2 level overcaller but I would overcall this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgr Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 2♦ ; I tend to overcall too light. I'm happy to be vulnerable because otherwise my partner would not expect this much from me for an overcall that takes away a whole level. It would be more difficult decision without ♣K. Maybe I can find the hidden Pass card then ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotShot Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 2♦, because: - i'm strong enough and my partner needs to know that- 3 small ♥ say that if opps have a fit partner is short there- this board will only see a partscore- partner will know what to lead- partner will not try his ♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I hate this hand, but I cannot bring myself to pass. 2♦ for me. Good opps will readily play for penalities of a 2-level minor overcall, since when it makes, it is rarely a disaster. So this is truly an ugly bid, but this could be our hand and/or I could use the lead and/or I could win by taking away bidding space.

whereagles Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 2♦. Small tripleton sux, but the overcall is very obstructive and can therefore cause some trouble to LHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 The upside overpowers the downside, so I'm in with 2D..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I pass, and I don't even findit close :), Discipline... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvan14 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 2♦. Being conservative is ok, but not this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
