Codo Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 After myLimit bid with 1 NT, I bid 3 Club. I doubt that pd can misunderstand this, can´t he?If he understands it as strong weith hearts? Fine, this is may hand.If he understands it as asking for balance,d asking for a stopper, fine, that is my hand too. And I won´t care much, whether he intends a 3 HEart bid as showing min., no stopper or a fifth Heart. I will bid game after any response.

inquiry Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I think I would like to know the form or scoring rather than unknown, and I would like to know the vulnerabilty. The club queen is probably of no value on this auction, so I have effectively 9 hcp with a four card fit. The doubleton spade could be useful. Vulnerable at imps, I would bid 4-HEARTS, otherwise I would invite game. To invite game via a raise. This hand is actually pretty good in support of a freely bid 2H, so I would go via 3♣'s at other forms of scoring/vulnerabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWM Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Vun = None. Scoring on the night was MP, but more interested in IMP scoring as that is what we play when we have league matches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I sure have a nice hand for partner, and wish the QC was in the S suit. I considered cue bidding C but think 4H is best. I might miss a slam, would be nice if I could bid 4D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 There are a lot of min hands pard might have that have a play for 4♥, say, AKxxxAKxxxxxx or AQxxxAJTxQxxx Thus I bid 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Since when is AK twice a minimum? My bid is 3♥ anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't pard accepting a game try with these hands? I'd rather not bid pard's hand here. I'll just raise to 3♥. why can't he hold: KJxxx, Axxx, xxx, A?

HeartA Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 After pd's free 2H, I will bid a game regardless CQ is (likely) a wasted card. I am bidding 3C. If he doesn't understand, I bid 4H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'd just invite, my hand doesn't seem all that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Since I would have been ready to rebid 2NT invitational, I will just do so in H with 3H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 3♥ for me. We see an interesting range of answers, from those committing to game, to those making a strong invite (3♣) and those making a minimal move (3♥). In my view this hand simply isn't strong enough to do anything more than make a mild invitation. The ♣Q may not be entirely worthless, but I suspect it is. I have 4 bad trump and a flattish hand with only 2 hcp in partner's suits...and the opps probably cashing their ♣ winner(s) before my ♦ come into play. I would take this view even red v white. After all, partner knows the vulnerability as well as I do. I am maybe a little safer in my approach than some since I belong to the heavy invite, light accept school. That approach is not as relevant in this kind of situation, where I have two invites possible. If I were Qx Qxxx AKxx xxx I'd bid 3♣: I would NOT force to game even with this, since partner has not denied 3♣ losers by bidding 2♥... he knows his ♣ length better than I do. Given that I would bid 3♣ with that hand, the given hand is significantly lighter and so can and should be distinguished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 [hv=d=n&v=n&s=stxhq98xdakxxcqxx]133|100|[/hv] Bidding has gone 1♠-(P)-1NT-(2♣)-2♥-(P) What is your next bid, playing 2/1. As usual this really depends on how light partner opens. Easy 3H for me and not close to 4H or game force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking it that the 2♥ freebid shows at least a good min, not a junkish 11 like yours ;) If 2♥ could be just about anything.. well, maybe 3♥ is better, though I still might prefer to bid game first and think about it later. I just hate it missing 4 on compound pessimism... belive me, it happened to me over and over again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Is 2♥ really a freebid? The 2♣ overcall didn't use up any space. I'd just assume partner make a normal rebid over interference here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
