And then what? What can you double for takeout with the west hand 2♥? 3♥?What does North do besides checking the back of the cards?And After all the huddles what about poor East? And that was only the first round of bidding.You could smell the fried brains at the table. At my table the bidding was: 3♥ - Dbl - 4♥ - 6♣6♥ - pass - pass - Xpass - pass - pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 This one is much harder, a lot depends on agreements. I would open 2H with the south hand, although I don't mind 3H at all. West would double 2H (I guess 3H too, but with great reluctance). North will do something, but what? I don't know. 4H seems useless, you can be pretty sure that you have a 12-card fit, and I don't like to bid twice. Perhaps 5H is the right call... Partner will probably interpret this as preemptive. I'm not sure that east will bid 6C over 5H, but if so, then south should definitely bid 6H . If you are not comfortable with taking another action after opening 2H then you shouldn't open 2H with these hands. I think EW should both pass over 6H.

Guest Jlall Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 3H-- 6-5 come aliveX-- I think it's important to bid with this hand. The hand with shortness needs to bid.4H-- wtf mate?4S-- transfer acceptedpp5H-- ok...X-- oops! Well they aren't in a force and pard made a t/o X at the 3 level... In your auction I think 6C was ludicrous (what is the stiff heart worth opposite a takeout X. Pard probably has 1 or 2 hearts, so you need A LOT of high cards to make this one. I'd be worried about making game). 6H was equally ludicrous. Who preempts then bids at the 6 level? South said his piece with 3H, and I can think of a lot harsher things to say about 6H.

mikeh Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 My auction is 2H-x-6H (hard to find out if we can make 7)-x-All Pass Hard to find out if you can make 6: what was it about the 2♥ opening bid that showed a ♣ control or no ♠ loser??? 6♥ is not a bid that any good player wold make at the table, as oposed to after seeing all the hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coyot Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Perhaps 2♥-x-4♥-4♠-5♦-5♠-6♥. Certainly no reason to bid 5♥ with north, certainly not before I get any indication about WHICH suit the opps have their superfit in. Yes, partner COULD easily have 3-6-1-3 shape. We have 12 hearts, why not them having 11-12 diamonds? Spade ruffs are not guaranteed, so I'll bid what I think I can make (losing one spade and two clubs). When opps bid either 4♠ or 5♣, partner MUST bid 5♦ with this kind of hand - and then I know that the short suits are not duplicated between us and the hands fit together well. Partner could be a little surprised that I bid slam when I was content with game :-), but certainly better than when I bid a slam blindly and go down.

Gerben42 Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 My auction on this one: West North East South - - - Pass!2♣* Dbl 5♣ 5♥Pass 6♥ Pass PassPass? * Fantunes 2-bid, but I prefer passing 4441s so it promises 5 cards. Not sure who should bid 7♣... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hi, I think I would Pass, intending to enter the aucton later.My partner would open 2H and bid diamonds,to indicate freakish shape. Marlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbleighton Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 To be prosaic: I think it would go like this at a lot of tables:3H-P-4H-All Pass. I'm not saying this is ideal, just that it would be very common. West has great shape, but also has an aceless 11 count. This is tough to double in the direct seat over 3H for a lot of players (including me). 2H would be another story. 4H by North is clear if, like many, your 3H NV in the first seat can be junk. You have a great looking hand, but it has a lot of losers. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Easy 3♥ opening. Maybe 4♥ at matchpoints. LHO doubles and after that North can go up to 5♥, unless he has a way to find out of the club singleton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
