jillybean Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I'd like to bid 2♠ looking for NT but I'm not clear on agreements and if 2♠ would imply ♣ stop ? 3♥ splinter perhaps. I look forward to the expert answers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 agree with 3H. 2S should show a suit imo. 3H seems most descriptive and the best start towards bidding our diamond slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhoc3 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Oppositing a passed hand slam could be too far away, unless... he has singleton ♣ and ♠A ♦K. So I tend to bid 3♣ as a cuebid to see if pard is encouraged. I will be satisfied with a game, no matter 3NT or 5D. If pard continue cuebid in black cuit, I'm happy to continue with cuebid, otherwise, 5D to play. I look forward to the expert answers too :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvan14 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 looks like a poster boy for a splinter. Great suit, great controls in the blacks, singleton heart: if pard has no wasted values in hearts, there is a slam coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000002 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 i am expert :) i vote 3♥ too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 3♥, looking for 3NT or ♦ slam B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 3♥ looks right here. If partner bids 3S after 3H I'll probably lauch into the old Black.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 5D. Partner passed, they opened the bidding. Marlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 If you play Raptor, as I do, you can bid 2♠ with impunity here. This shows values in spades (and less than four of them), or you can bid 3♥ splinter. 3♣ simply would not be choice as I don't want partner thinking is he asking for a club stopper of some such silly idea. The problem I see with 3♥ is partner will not have 5♥ on this auction, and if he has 3 or less, we might wake them up should they have a good heart save if they can "hit" 3♥. However, despite being able to bid 2♠ without confusing partner and despite the possibility of waking them up with a 3♥ splinter, I will bid 3♥. Why? Because it will be the best way for partner to evaluate his hand opposite mine. This informs him right away hearts (other than the ace) are wasted, and helps him evaluate his hand much better than a 2♠ would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 3♥ if you agreed it's a splinter, otherwise 3NT. wtp? :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I would bid 2♠, but the more I think of it, the more I like 3♥. It would break our agreements that splinter is only on a suit bid by opponents, but it couln't be anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 3♥ splinter. Gives partner an idea when 3NT is right and when to try for slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
