pclayton Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 12 board match - very good opponents. All white. LHO opens 1♠, pard passes and RHO bids 1N. You look at: [hv=s=shaqtxxxxdkxckqxx]133|100|[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike777 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 4H game try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 4H. 2H is reasonable, 3h is an underbid. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I'd bid 2♥, the auction probably won't finish here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 4♥. 2nd choice 2♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 2♠. If partrner bids 2/3/4NT, I'll bid 4/4/5♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I kind of like 2♥. It also depends somewhat on your Michael's philosophy (not because I'd consider using Michael's but because of the implications of a club bid later on being 6-4 rather than 5-5). I find 4♥ reasonable. I would not consider any other bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I'd consider three different bids 2♥ (who knows, I might get to show my clubs)4♥ (jamming their auction)5♥ (I doubt that anyone but me is going to suggest this one) If we were white versus red, I would happily bid 5♥. 2♥ doesn't eat up enough bidding space. If I bid 4♥, I'm not going to feel happy when the opponents back into their Spade fit. 5♣ misrepresents my suit length and double could go terrible wrong. Here, however, we're white versus white, and 5♥X -3 ain't gonna score to well at IMPs. So mark me down for 4♥ (but I'm not happy about it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Close between 4H (first choice) and 2H (second). I don't understand 3H and I don't like 5H (which at least I understand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its a nice picture, I'm sure they mixed up my name with George Clooney - who won the 299ers at Long Beach :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 4♥ is to be followed with double, otherwise don't bid 4♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
