Free Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 You hold:[hv=d=w&v=b&s=sakqxha9xdxxct7xx]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv] LHO start the bidding:3♣ - pass - pass - ??? What do you bid? (I don't think anyone has some fancy bids for balanced hands :rolleyes: ) Extra: do you bid anything else when it's IMP scoring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 This might turn out completely wrong, but I'm going to pass. Pard is very short in clubs and didn't double nor bid 3♦, so he's probably broke and it's not our hand. If I had to bid, I'd prefer double to 3♠.

Echognome Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 To me this is a Pass wtp? It's possible that it's your hand in a part-score. But I cannot see taking that risk when partner is short in clubs and couldn't act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hi, Pass, if I have to bid I will hopefully follow Miles advice an bid 3S. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochinko Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I have a reason to celebrate, since this is one of my rare decisions that goes along with the majority of voters. But if someone points a gun at me, or I need a swing so badly that I feel like a gun has been pointed to my head, requiring me to bid something, I'll go for 3NT. I'd be even more inclined to bid 3NT at IMPs, but again only under considerable pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe de Balliol Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 When LHO pre-empts first in and it's passed to me, I *never* pass opening hands provided partner's on the same wavelength. But here we have an exception. Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
