brianshark Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Can't see much wrong with 1♣. And despite your hand worse than your HCP might suggest, you still have 16 and a bit of shape. So 3♥ it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echognome Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 So the spade overcall on your left and your stiff honor doesn't make anyone downgrade to only 2♥? Guess I'm on an island again on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 So the spade overcall on your left and your stiff honor doesn't make anyone downgrade to only 2♥? Sorry nope :) I don't want to make the same bid on a bad 16 with a singleton as on a random balanced 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Certainly this is a clear 3♥ call if LHO didn't make the call. Since LHO overcalled, how much worse is our hand as a result? Somewhat, but I wouldn't drag it into the 2♥ realm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhall Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 So the spade overcall on your left and your stiff honor doesn't make anyone downgrade to only 2♥? Guess I'm on an island again on this one.I have some sympathy for 2♥. If I want partner to double 1♠ with xx Axxx Kxxx xxx, then I shouldn't hang him out to dry with doubtful values and poor intermediates. And I would expect him to bid game over 3♥ holding xx AJxx xxxx Kxx, which is maybe 20% to make on this auction. On the other hand, partner may be reluctant to make a try for game over 2♥ with a lot of 10 HCP hands where game is a good bet. It depends on how aggressively he expects you to raise. Clearly, the majority here are in the aggressive category. All that being said, I would (over)bid 3♥ and apologize when things fell apart.

skjaeran Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Obvious 1♣.3♥ seems clear too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogeshdg Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 1) Yes i agree with 1♣ 2) yes you bid 3♥ provided you and your pd have agreed that x of 1♠ shows 4+♥ eeven if you downgrade Queen ♠ you upgrade coz u hv singleton so its the same thing.
