Hand from yesterday's tournament

Well, I've almost recovered from a truly abysmal showing in yesterday's Indy:

 

Might as well post what I consider some of the more interesting hands:

 

[hv=d=e&v=n&s=skj8hq874daj4ckt5]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv]

 

You open 1 in second seat. The auction continues

 

1 - 1

2 - 3

???

 

Whats your bid?

I'd reject the game try, if that is what it is, with 3H, and I'd like to reject it with 2H. I see a flat hand, no source of tricks, 8 losers, and 9/14 points in our short suits ( spades, diamonds); we're in MP and I wouldn't mind protecting the plus, nor would I mind being wildly anti-field if I have a decent chance of being right.

 

 

Am I being too conservative? Maybe P is making a GT that is based on a non-existent double fit. He didn't try with 2N, so the offsuit honors are not going to combine with much that is useful.

Hi,

I decided to bid 3H (... I passed the 3H invite),

I dont think that 3C is different from 3H,

but only because we were playing MP.

You dont even know, what kind of game try it is.

 

From a LTC point of view, you have a min.

opener, ... and if you want to go conservative

playing MP, this hand is certainly a hand to do it.

 

With kind regards

Marlowe

 

PS: Regarding 3NT, the invite maybe based on

distribution, and even if not, you may play with

someone who streches to make an invite with

9-10HCP.
