1eyedjack Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I play it as a weak raise, using 2S or rubens to show a sound raise. I would not have passed first time with West opposite 2D. I think N/S have an interesting problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
temp3600 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I would show diamond support the first time with West's hand.If only 3♦ is available to support diamonds, then it is usually played with a wide range, from preemptive to a good game invite. If two bids are available to support (weak and good raise), then I think this hand is a minimum for the good raise.N-S might compete up to 4♥, E-W should reach 3NT or 5♦ (best).

skjaeran Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 3♦ is a weak raise, 2♠ a strong raise. I'd have bid 2♠ with the west hand - this is definitely a minimum hand for a strong raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I am surprised how many people are showing a 'good raise' with the west hand, which I take to mean something like a limit raise. It really isn't good enough as far as I'm concerned. But of course, passing instead of raising was criminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 pass is a typical beginner mistake, you should raise 2 to 3 just as you would raise 1 to 2. Also East should double second time, instead of bidding a suit in wich he has already shown 6 cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Yep, agree with Fluffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi, if my partner passes my overcall with 4 card supportand 8HCP, we should start talking about overcalls. Asuming you also play some kind of strong raise (e.g. 2S),I think West should bid 3D. In the given seq. the raise is constructive, but limited due to not bidding 2S, since Southpassed 3D is not weak.How to proceed over 3D is another story, maybe 3NT is a fair gamble (looking at the heart shortage), maybe pass ... I dont know. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
