coyot Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I'll double. We have values and noone may have a suit. If it continues 3♣ - p - p, I'll have to contribute 3♥. Since 3♥ immediately would be GF with a reasonable suit, partner will know that my suit can be a bit lousy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I thought 3 ♥ direct is merely competetive and 3 ♣ shows inv+ with Hearts. Well maybe this is not common sense. But I still bid it and 3 ♠ after 3 from pd.You wrote.: He will understand... I will pray and hope that you are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Double. The only problem will be when it goes 3♣, pass, pass. I'd try 3♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temp3600 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I would start with X. It gets interesting if it then goes (3♣) - p - (p) - ?Several people intend to bid 3♥ now. I'm not sure if it should be forcing, or if partner can be sure of 4 spades in my hand. What can I bid with Q10x A98xx 9xx Ax ?I think I would bid 4♣ now. It's a bit optimistic, but clearer, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 3C showing long H forcing, as opposed to a 3H competitive bid. This also stops lho from spoofing. I don't want to make a decision over 3C when pd may not take a bid as forcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
