han Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Close between 3S and 4S, both are reasonable I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I have to disagree with han, I think 4 is horrible and 3 is completely normal. This hand just doesn't have the goods to bid 4 and RHO is passed so there's not much reason to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hi, 3S, but I can live with 4S.But I cant live with a partner, who bids 3Sfollowed by 4S.If you bid 3S, you made up your mind, theyhad to guess as they bid 4H, and a 4S bid is justified only if you got add. information,I dont think that 4H gives you this add. information. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 If there is a book hand for 3♠ it must be this one. And never bid your hand twice of course, so 4♥ is the final contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 This hand is more or less an example hand for 3♠ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph23 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 3♠ all the way. Once you decide to preempt, bid as high as you dare, then shut up unless forced or invited to bid by partner. Bidding 4♠ over 1♠ is too much imo; imo, 3♠ is plenty; but if partner got carried away and did it and bid a direct 4♠ on this crap, I would just say "Oh well, good try." It could work and sometimes it does!! If on the other hand, he chose 3♠, and then bid 4♠ over 4♥, however, I'd say "What the hell are you doing? You can't preempt twice!" He passed captaincy to me when he preempted with 3♠, and now he is defying that decision. That is just wrong and a breach of partnership discipline. Unless he miscounted the first time, which he didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he miscounted the first time, which he didn't. other than disagreeing with the gentle response to an immediate 4♠ (I agree with Justin on that), I agree with this post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 It's about as good a 3♠ as I can have. Any more distribution and I would bid 4, any more strength I would make a mixed raise. I would certainly bid 3 on worse hands but this is still in the range (at the top). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 It looks like a classic 3♠ bid to me. I would bid 3♠ and pass the 4♥ call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I really like this hand. I think its a touch strong for 3♠ at NV. I have two nice features: the ♠K and the stiff. A preemptive raise usually shows one. The 5th club is nice too. If I had a mixed raise available, I'd upgrade the hand to that. I'll make a single raise and re-compete to 3♠ if given the chance.

whereagles Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Let's not forget might have made a "miles 4CM overcall" on AQ9xAxxxxKxxx 3♠ seems right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
