ArtK78 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 4H seems obvious. Partner has a very good heart overcall, as he did not just overcall 2H (although I do not know your methods over a weak NT, there should be some way of showing just hearts). 4H may go down, but I can't come up with a good reason not to bid it.

skjaeran Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 My ♣K seems of dubious value now, with the 3♣ jump behind me, partner rates to be very short (probably void), But the rest of the had is quite formiddable on the bidding, and I don't consider passing. I can in fact envision hands where we make slam. My alternative bids are 4♣ (good raise), 4♦ (cue) and 4♥. I don't think I've got enough for 4♦, so I'll take the middle road, and bid 4♣. If partner rebids 4♦ I'll rebid 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 4♥ I'd need the ♣A to bid 4♣ (although the 3♣ call suggests opener has both minors rather than specifically good clubs... the number of hcp out there suggests that opener has the ♣A) Pass wouldn't occur to me at the table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I guess I should have posted this in "uninteresting bridge hands" huh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantumcat Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 If the pass is 5+ clubs or two places to play, isn't 3♣ a bit he is forced to make? Like Lebensohl? So why does the ♣K suddenly lose its value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why does the ♣K suddenly lose its value? Opener just jumped to the 3 level opposite a potential 4333 yarboro, so he really holds a suit. I guess his almost forced bid would have been 2♣. But 4♥ seems clear-cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 4H, I suspect the other option is supposed to be 3N but that is totally random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 This hand is what happens when you play a local game during nationals. I could have bid 3c with the 1nt openers hand but didnt (only bid 2), and got a zero because i was playing against one of the only good pairs in the field. If I had bid 3c they just bid 4h making which is also a zero lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
