jdonn Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Seriously, though, I don't tend to bid based on "what if partner has an aboslute max". If partner has a balanced 10 count with 3 clubs, which I think is more common, I think game becomes a good chance for them. lol so now we have to get into a hand constructing battle? Fine balanced 10 count with 3 clubs coming up [hv=n=st9xxhatxdkqjcxxx&w=skqjxhkqxdxxxcqxx&e=sxxxhxdxxcakjxxxx&s=sa3hj86432dat863c]399|300|[/hv] Doing this proves so much! Are you trying to show that if the opponents have a combined 19 (or 21?) with their long suit breaking 4-0 they probably have game? Ok then. BTW an "absolute max" for pard to pass it out would be a balanced 14 or bad 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I think you can do better than that Josh, a balanced 5-count should be enough to make game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Seriously, thoughlol so now we have to get into a hand constructing battle? Nah, I should have put a winky face or something up there...hoping that you'd get it from the "seriously though". You didn't answer my question. If it were a second hand 3♣, instead of a first hand, then would you pass or bid 3♥? (my partners never pass with a balanced 14 or 15 here. Not saying that they shouldn't).

Fluffy Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 lol, actually this was the full deal, you might fail to believe it ;) [hv=n=sjxxxxxhxxdjxcaxx&w=sq10hak10xdkqxxc10xx&e=sk9xhqd9xckqjxxxx&s=saxhjxxxxxda10xxxc]399|300|[/hv] Traveller says 3♥ was not a great contract, althou it might be better than allowing 3♣ to make 11 tricks as we did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I think you can do better than that Josh, a balanced 5-count should be enough to make game.A balanced 5 count where we have game AND they don't would be sweet. Hmmm Got it! [hv=n=sxxxxhatxdxxcxxxx&w=skqjxxhkqdqjxckqx&e=sxxhxxdkxxcajtxxx&s=saxhjxxxxxdatxxxc]399|300|[/hv] 4 count, woot. And I didn't even need a 10 card fit lol.
