Lucky or good?

[Rebound]

I picked up

void

Qxx

10xxxx

J10xxx

in first seat. This was a pickup team game, unknown partner, all red.

I passed, lho passed, then it went,

1♣-(1♠)-2♣*-(2♠)-3♣-(3♠)-4♣*-(X)

 

*these calls were by me and the subject of discussion.

Partner made 4♣X and they were cold for game in ♠.

 

So, did I get lucky? I'm sure some of you would find a way to open the hand, but assuming an initial pass, I'd like to hear what you folks would do with those cards.

2C is clear, and 4C with respect to the spade void

as well.

you are just following the law.

 

With kind regards

maybe you were lucky, but i agree with marlowe... i'd have bid the way you did *hoping* for a double :)

I would have bid 3 or 4 clubs the first time round. I'm not a fan of walking the dog...

you are right .-), but playing with an

unknown partner, I can understand 2C

followed by 4C.

I like your bidding, also. Informing the opponents about the length of your lower-ranking fit often simply helps the opponents. Similarly, advertising weakness accomplishes the same bad result. I would not call your calls "walking the dog," instead referring to it as protection of information advantage. Nice auction, well rewarded.
