jtfanclub Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Do you take another bid? I'd be very happy if they ended up in 4 of a minor. I don't want to do anything to encourage them to go to 5. At this vulnerability, I'm not interested in saving over 5 of a minor. Pass, and pass again if it comes back to me at 5 of a minor.

Even if it did I'd pass. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Opps will save over 4♥ when it's going off. Yes, I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opps are in a GF situation. They will bid 5♦ or 6♦. Am I going to bid 5♥ at this vul? Maybe, after all partner is aware of the vul as well and I could have a lot less O-D than I do. Maybe getting doubled in 4♥ and make it ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtfanclub Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Opps are in a GF situation. How so? 1♦ (1♥) 2♥ is just limit raise or better, the way most people play it.The 2♥ bidder hasn't had another call, so his hand hasn't become stronger.The 4♣ bid is choice of suits, it doesn't show a strong hand. which call made the auction GF?

Fantasyland. I'm more worried about the opponents bidding slam than hoping they stay out of game. I want to take away their cue, so I'll try 4♥.

awm Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'd pass... The opponents are not going to play four of a minor. Bidding 4♥ just gives them a "fielder's choice" to double us or bid on. It doesn't even take away any space, since we're giving them a forcing pass and a double instead of 4♦ and 4♥ bids. In addition, bidding might warn them of bad breaks (it's easy to believe they will bid slam and go off if I pass) or of duplication of shortness (what if they both upgrade for their small singleton heart?). I don't really think we're going to sacrifice in 5♥ or 6♥ at these colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 This is a clearcut pass to me.4♥ won't take away any space for opps, we don't want to save at these colours, and of course a pass by LHO is forcing here; LHO already invited game and RHO bid a new suit at the 4-level, which must at least be encouraging. Opps won't stop at the 4-level now, more probably they're heading for slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 4H I agree with pclayton, opps are on their way to slam, not wondering about game. In real life I would probably bid 5H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I was going to say Pass, wtp, until I saw some posters have a problem. :PMy main worry is partner will double the opp assuming I have some defense for my unfav vul 1H overcall. I assume IJO of 2H would promise 6 hearts not 5 hearts so with an opening hand and all or many hands with 5 hearts I must overcall one heart?

Fluffy Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 If opponents are gonan bid slam, 4♥ is helping them revealing our large fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I was partner and after the hand I had an opinion about 4♥ :-). I think it is very interesting though an I would certainly like to hear from more players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
