pclayton Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Had a funny thing happen to me at the Saddleback sectional on Friday. Your partner (an ex-National and World) champion picks up: [hv=d=s&v=n&s=sj9xxhkxxxdxxcakq]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv] He opens 1♣ and I make an inverted raise. At this point he's just noticed that he's mis-sorted his hand :D B) :lol: and actually holds: [hv=d=s&v=n&s=sj9xxhkxxxdxxcakq]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv]. So he tries 2♠. I retreat to 3♣ which boxes my hand as a limit raise. Any ideas on how to dig yourself out of this mess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I would pass, quite reluctantly. At IMPs I would bid 3S, showing my 6-5 :D Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 What about bidding 3♥ now? Can partner figure it out now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 3♥ probably begets 3N. I held: Qx, xx, Axxx, Axxxx. Pard chose 3♠, ostensibly showing a 5-6. I got VERY excited and cued 4♦. He tried 4♥, I key carded and he PASSED B) . Happy to report -300 was our only real bad board. :) He could have passed 3♣ too. The 5-2 doesn't play too bad.
