pbleighton Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Not sure which hand you had. South could have bid 2D, if he felt like it. I think West was too weak for 2H - I would have passed. Because I, as East, would expect more from West for 2H (either another queen or another heart), I would have gone to 4H. Nothing really terrible here, as far as I can tell.

If you think that means, pard has opening hand, we got 8 card fit, I got 8 hcp I guess I bid game, it would seem so, yes? Keep in mind I see no expert expouse this theory in writing but it seems so when you review the top class hands in top matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceptic Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 if it helps I was west , I am curious whether I should have bid game after 3H I would like to know if I was too weak to bid 2Hearts , what my alternatives were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I'd prefer the hearts to be better but, as a passed hand, I'd probably bid it too expecting that ♣Jx opposite a likely 6-card suit will provide a safe haven. Passing 3♥ is clear with such a minimum call. Missing this non-vulnerable game is not a big problem. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 (edited) Why didn't you open 2♥? Oh sorry, you have only a 5-card hearts, I miscounted. Edited May 22, 2006 by helene_t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
