awm Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 2♠. Maybe it's idiotic, I dunno. There seems to be an option or two missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I forgot about 2S, what's the other missing option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 The obvious possibilities appear to be Pass, 1♠, 2♥, 2♠. And some "other" option for more farfetched possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I'm with 2S regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 1 or 2♠ depending on pd. I personally like bidding 2♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Pass,but willing to listen and learn. As often this so depends on what p can pass with in first seat, 13 hcp or only lousy ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 2♠ seems clear... Don't understand any of these poll choices :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hi, 1S, 2S or 2H. Most likely I would go with 2H. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I won't bid 1♠ or Pass here. 2♥ and 2♠ come to mind, with all my values in ♠ I prefer 2♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 looks like a 1♠ bid to me. Heck, partner may be about to make a responsive double of a raise, or a snapdragon of a 2♣ call... but, as with the other vote, I don't feel strongly about it....altho pass seems idiotic.

han Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I don't know what I was doing when I made the poll late last night. The intended options were 1S and 2H. I understand that some like to bid 2S with this but I have a hard time understanding pass. To me it seems a 1S bid but apparently not to a lot of people.

bid_em_up Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Given the choices listed, I'll pick "Something Imbecilic or idiotic or both", which is par for the course in my case. 2♥. It effectively makes the same lead directing bid that 1S does (assuming partner happens to end up on lead, which is already unlikely). It clues partner in that there might be a second place to play (1S does not). It lets the lead run up to partners hand (we have no reason to want the lead coming into our hand). The hand is about the expected strength for a non-vul michaels call, so partner shouldnt get carried away. Of course, it helps that I prefer to play suit specific michaels where 2H shows spades & diamonds (two higher unbid), so partner can now accurately judge what to do immediately. Personally I think 2S is umm, one of the "I" words, when the force starts immediately on your five card trump suit with no guarantee of a fit, but thats jmoo.

han Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I don't think that 2♥ showing spades and diamonds is effectively the same lead director as 1S. Of course, I agree with you that it likely won't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keylime Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I'd bid 2H showing spades and diamonds (specific suiters); I'm 5-5 and two suited and need to get pard's involvement in the mix. Otherwise, 1S, far more than 2S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Style thing. I knew Justin would bid 1♠, and so would one of my regulars on BBO. I prefer 2♠ myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Normally 1♠, but 2♠ is OK too.2♥ wouldn't enter my mind at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr1303 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Either 1S or 2S, depending on what my agreements are as to how "flexible" this can be. I won't bid 2H, since I only want to get a lead director in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
