Walddk Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 4♠. I don't leave partner in 3 with such a good fit. The thing to remember is that he has plenty of values outside spades because his overcall was based on a weak (likely) 6-card suit.

Miron Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 4♠I don't see any other bid. Partner has 13-17 my seven and 4-card could make a game.In Lawrence SST&WP: SST is 4, maybe less (5 can occur as well). WP 19-24 points, that is 9 or 10 tricks. At IMPS no doubt 4♠, at MP I'm not sure, pass could be better.In Losing tricks: I have 8, partner should have 6-7 for his overcall --> 4♠ :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Although partner should expect 7 ordinary points, he can basically expect an A and a K with an ordinary shape given the bidding thus far. Here you have 5 points working in his suit. (Although it's possible the ♠Q is wasted) The small doubleton club is not very attractive, but it's much better than having, say, your black queens reversed. It's certainly possible that game will have no play, but I cannot imagine not trying for game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Hi, I raise, I have 2 sure tricks for partner,+ a ruffing value and the length in hearts. Which may or may not besufficient to makegame. With kind regardsMarlowe PS: 3S should show a opening hand, andI am not talking about a borderline opening,as in the "Post-preempt decision" thread,(there: switch the mayors).And altough with this hand opposite the hand now in discussion 9 tricks is the limit (6trumps, 3 tricks n the side suite), one also sees, that with a stronger hand,game will have play.

mcphee Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I can't see the problem here, a 3 level o/c and I have KQxx of his suit, passing is losing bridge. Lets face it, this was not a lead directional o/c. We are also vulnerable, if 4S fails I will be in extreme shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awm Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Partner bid 3♠ on a hand where his spades aren't very good (I have KQ) and he isn't super-short in clubs (I have only two and there was no raise). It seems like he's bound to have a pretty good hand. Of course it's possible that 4♠ may fail: AJTxxxxxAKxAx But I think bidding 4♠ is still the percentage action.

whereagles Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 4♠. Probably down 1, but thats life. Yup. You can't miss a vulnerable game, and there's no way to invite. Would pass if NV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
