mike777 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 ".... sure did have a bidding problem...when vul versus not, I held......Qxx, Txxx, AQT, xxx , and it went 2H X Pass ??....." One of my partner's had this problem at Mp last night, your choice? You are playing Lebensohl so a natural 2nt bid here is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 I agree completely. At least with 2♠ you have chance to play on the 2 level, which can't be said about any other bid. Also the defense often blows a trick since they don't know you have this. I think passing is a very bad action, but a very good swinging action if you are way down since it will occasionally gain big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 2♠, you dont want to go any higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Pass was my first instinct, but then I noticed the board rates to be about 20-20 and opps seem to have 6 top tricks with 10 hcp still to spare. 2♠ then. Pass is ok, but gambles on pard having a non-min dbl with a trump trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Yeah 2♠. All other actions are just sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Pass is an invitation to -670, unless we are playing Weiss doubles or something like that. 2♠ seems clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd not expect them to make 10 tricks, Phil.We were vul opps were not... :P Completely agree that 2♠ is the obvious call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
