DWM Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 [hv=d=e&v=b&s=shk984daj83ckt843]133|100|[/hv] 1♥ opened on your right At the table I was so tempted with a 2NT bid I bid it. My reasoning was I did not want P to get over excited holding 6 spades, and this could be my only opertunity to get my hand off my chest Afterwards I thought that 2NT was the safe bid and there is a chance that the oposition could find a 8 or 9 card spade fit and struggle with a bad break. What would you bid and what are your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrothgar Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I play a good / band unusual 2NT so 2NT would never occur to me I'm a fairly active bidder, but I am happy to pass this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Clubs not good enough to bid. Double with a spade void is out of the question, and 2NT, well, not for me. Maybe later... depending upon how the auction develops. Pass is the only choice right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTired Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Although I am a big advocate of bid now rather than pass and back-in later, this hand has no good bid. I don't like 2-level overcalls on ratty 5-card suits. I refuse to double without 3+ in all unbid majors. 2N with only a 5-4 and 4-cards in opps suit with intermediate strength does not appeal to me. So there really is no other bid. Let's pass and see who bids the spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I have to agree with the crowd. I may yet bid later, but there are good odds I would much rather defend on this hand. I may even end up doubling them at the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcauley Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 pass first, looks like will have the chance to bid later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I don't think anyone has put this strongly enough. For an unusual 2N, you need 5-5 AND good suits. Here you have 5-4 only, bad suits, AND you have a lot of stuff in RHO's suit. I am glad the vote is unanimous(!) though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
