skjaeran Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I'd bid my suit on both occasions. A little more reluctantly holding ♣'s, but I'm still bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bid even if 2C vulnerable at imps. The 5th club is determinate. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I also bid my 5 card suit and my dblton Q may have value in a suit PD certainly also holds for his take out dbl. I think I have just enough to bid 2♣, whereas with a major bidding is clear to me. .. neilkaz .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I would bid, and not cooperate after that unless forced to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Huh. There was a thread about a similar auction, in which I said that I tended to bid at the 2 level with interference with such 'crap' that partner should expect me to have absolutely nothing when I pass. This was the sort of 'crap' I was alluding to. I bid 2♣ here, no problem. I don't know if the rest of the world has caught up to me, or if they were up here all along and I didn't notice.

As I learned it, the standard meaning of a bid at the two level in response to partner's takeout double, after interference, tends to show 6+ hcp, or a fifth card with a little less. Sorry, you're not avant-garde :blink: Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I don think it's fair to conclude that p has absolutely nothing when he passes in this situation, I think it requires some 8 points to bid 1NT so he might have 6(7) points with no biddable suit. Here all our five points are likely to work and we have at least an 8-card fit, quite possible a 9-card fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
