Miron Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Your partner opens 2♠ as 9-12 with 5+♠ (or for 2/1: 1♠ and you "know" he is weak)what will be your bid with?[hv=d=n&v=n&s=sxxxhakxxxxxdxcxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I'd give up on game and bid 3S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Count me for 3♥ (presumably natural and forcing). If partner bids 3♠ I pass. But, if opponents now bid, I have gotten partner off to the right lead (suppose his spades are broken e.g.) and my 3♥ is pretty much as preemptive as 3♠ is.

Codo Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I make a game try with 4♠ opposite the 2 ♠ opening. I can place the contract, because pds hand is well defined.Opposite a normal 1 ♠ opening, I bid whatever I have avaiable to show inviting strength,so mostly 3 ♠. I have such a beautiful hand, that I am way to good for a simple 2 ♠ bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I just noticed that 2♠ - 3♥ was listed as GF above. I don't understand that. I can see play 2/1 GF, but I don't see the big benefit in playing 3/2 as GF. Maybe someone will tell me and I will say "Ahhh!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I will bid 2NT asking for a feature in his hand. Any bid except 3H will end in 3S. 3H I will take to 4. If we are playing Ogust responses then a quiet 3S will suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Game? Maybe, but i can't see how a quantitative sequence starting with 2N gets us to the right spot. Many minimums:AJxxxx, xx, xxx, Ax, create 10 tricks yet many maximums have no play: KQxxx, x, KQxx, Qxx. A few maximums make 6 excellent: AKQxxx, Qxx, xxxx, void but these are few and far between. I'll start with 3H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 How BAD a nine point hand is allowed? Can it be 9 hcp and 5(332)? Can the nine be made up of scattered queens in the off suit? If partner opened 1♠, I would force to game especially at imps, trying first to play in my heart suit, but if partner insist on being difficult and not support me, I will play 4♠. Not sure what to do over this 2♠ bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 4♠, partner will be able to handle it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Not sure if this hand is worth something playing spades. If dummy is forced, the hearts may become worthless. (I learned that the hard way in a european championship...) In any case opps rate to have no game on, so something might be said for passing and later competing to 3♥. Dunno if I could bring myself to do that at table, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Slight problem. Why didn't LHO take a call in a minor? This hand smells like a rat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenberg Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I'll bid 3H over 2S. I don't like the stipulated condition that it is a game force, but I'll bid 3H anyway. If LHO bids four of a minor over 3H, perhaps partner can support hearts. If he doesn't support, and if RHO raises 4m to 5m, partner can lead a heart (if he has one) and this might well be right. It seems to me that if LHO bids 4m and there are then two passes, I should be allowed to pass even if 3H was a GF. Partner is limited to 12 hcps, right? I don't understand why 3H should be GF, but if it is I will simply violate the agreement. My guess is that the auction will not stop in 4m however.

Miron Posted June 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 We were trying the Funtunes system (Fantoni Nunes), where1♠ = 13+, 5+2♠ = 9-12, 5+ (even weak - no honors)There was written 2♠-3♥ as game force, don't ask me why (we were just having some fun with new system).
