ArcLight Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 IMPs, Red on Red, 2/1 Pass - pass - 1♠ (by pard) - 2♥? What do you bid holding: ♠Q x x x x♥ x x ♦x♣ K x x x x 3♠?4♠?Other? (what?) [Note - pard may have a below strength hand to open in 3rd seat, do you cut him some slack?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 4♠. Many ways to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcLight Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 4♠ was the correct bid, because 4♥ makes (vulnerable). Opps doubled us, down 2 for -500, which beats -620. The reason I ask is this is opposite a THIRD seat opening bid, which may be weak.I was wondering if you pull back a little opposite a potential weak 3rd seat opening bid.

If partner opened a good 4-card suit in a hand below opening strength, then it still seems right to bid 4♠ over 4♥. We have a lot of shape after all.So let's do it right away, maybe they bid on when both 4H and 4S were down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general pulling back a little is good but here it would be a gigantic underbid to bid 3S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe for a borderline decision, but don't let the fear of partner messing around in third seat keep you from playing normal bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 4♠ all the way to pressure the opps and hope that they "guess" wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 4♠ all day. The fact that partner might be understrenght just improves the odds for this being a winning bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceptic Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 it is almost to strong for one of my 2 spade bids, but 4 spades it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 4S. The same bid I would make, if he justovercalled, and for me a overcall is weakerthan an opening bid. The only question is, does he regular openwith 4 cards in 3rd seat?If yes, 3S may be enough. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
