Steve I bid 1NT as I hated the thought of 3 Clubs over ptrs expected 2♦s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 you have a 3315 hand, thats tricky to bid.If it is 4315 I bid 2 ClubWith 3415 I bid 2 ClubWith 3325 I bid 1 NTWith 3316 I bid 2 Club. So with good stoppers 16-18 HCPS and a belanced hand I bid 1 NT, else my longest suit. Yes, not funny, just boring.1 NT would be my second choice with a lot of hand types, but my overcalls may have up to 18 HCPs and I am surely allowed to have max. from time to time.

Guest Jlall Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 2C seems aite. edit: thought it was 3316. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 2C. The hand's not quite good enough for double then clubs. Interchange the DQ for a small heart then I double. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 1NT. Nothing else would seriously occur to me. Sure, 2♣ seems obvious as an alternative, but the major problem with 2♣ is that I have too many and too good quality spades -- partner is very unlikely to focus on notrump, and he is very unlikely to view his hand properly for notrump suitability. I also like very much that third heart, for bidding 1NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 1NT.. you even made it matchpoints for us. What else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Sure, 2♣ seems obvious as an alternative With a good 5 card suit and an unbalanced hand? Wow, what a concept! Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'd bid 1NT but if partner prefers me to bid 2♣ with this hand it's fine with me. What to do if partner bids 2♦ over my 2♣? 3NT, wtp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi, 2C, the only alternative being 1NT,but the shape is wrong, and dependingon the range I am slightly to strong. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter I agree with Ken that 2C seems obvious as an alternative but it is equally clear to reject it. 1NT will get you to the best game (almost certainly 3NT) or best partscore (1NT) far more often.

I wasn't quarrelling with 1NT, and I wouldn't criticize a partner who bid it,but I think it's clear that it's *unclear* to reject the only bid that isn't a lie. But perhaps I'm simple-minded :blink: Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather, I claimed that 2♣ was an obvious alternative, offering reasons why I would reject the obvious alternative myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I like 1NT a lot better than 2♣. There are plenty of hands with enough for game but no club support where partner would pass that bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgr Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 DBL followed by bidding NT shwos 18-19HCP for me. Distribution is not perfect for bidding immediate 1NT, so I DBL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxx Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 How good are my opponents? Are they good enough to come popping out with a surprise diamond lead? Then I'll settle for 2♣, albeit a little heavy, planning to rebid 3NT over 2♦.Otherwise, I'll go with 1NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 yeah I'd go 1N with 4315. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 How good are my opponents? Are they good enough to come popping out with a surprise diamond lead? No. These opponents are bad, they always make exactly the lead they hope you make. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 1NT for me. I can live with 2♣ too, but prefer 1NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
