ArtK78 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I pass over 1♠. If the auction proceeds P-(P)-x-(P) I bid my long suit - 2♦. Partner is going to have to drag me kicking and screaming to game if that is his objective. I do not have a good hand on this auction.

Apollo81 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Pass. Under your first scenario (partner reopens with a double) I'd bid 2♦. Under your second scenario (I double, then pard competes to 3♥) I'd obviously pass. These responses should be unanimous or nearly so.

BillHiggin Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Scenario #1 is easy - 2♦ The call for scenario #2 is also an easy pass. The complication comes with the required diplomacy. I lay down dummy with the ♦4 at the bottom of the ♥ suit, quickly fix that with an astonished look, and announce the "I clearly need a cup of coffee, can I get you anything - my treat".

P_Marlowe Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 1NT for me, but I agree that pass is probably best. It is between Pass and 1NT.If I pass and partner reopens,than 2D ia also clear 2D. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I'd pass and bid 3D over a reopening X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I'd pass and bid 3D over a reopening X 3 diamonds after the double has a lot of appeal for me too, although I would consider this a minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Pass and 3♦ over double. With the queen of diamonds more I would have bid 2♦ right away (see other thread). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
