jdonn Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 SAYC? Of course 2♥! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I play the method you describe. I would treat this hand as too good for 1NT, and therefore take my chances with 2H followed by 3H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blofeld Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 A 2/1 may promise a rebid, but I think you have an easy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 2♥ may take us too high if it's a misfit and p for some reason doesn't pass 3♥, but I think 1NT is riskier. I would be more comfortable with a forcing pass followed by 3♥, though. (Edit: sorry this doesn't make sense, the two things mean the same Dunno what I was thinking).

Guest Jlall Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 huh? Isnt this hand the reason people play SAYC?! 2H then 3H, perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 2♥ may take us too high if it's a misfit and p for some reason doesn't pass 3♥ So what you are saying is the correct bid will take us too high if partner misbids later? I have to agree :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted December 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 OK so you bid 2♥, followed up by 3♥ over 2♠. Pd bids 3NT. 4♥ or not 4♥? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Definitely 4♥. Opener is top of his minimum range when he didn't pass 3♥. My hand is pretty useless as dummy in 3NT. In 4♥, however, I will often be able to play this suit for one loser opposite a singleton. If opener has a singleton or void in hearts *and* a minimum, get a new partner. A common mistake is to "save" partner when they have a misfit, especially a void. Don't! AKxxxx--KxxQxxx Far too often have I seen opener bid forever because he doesn't like responder's suit. A good player would pass 3♥ without hesitation. Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 2H, but depends on your partnership,you should have a line in the sand, you wont cross. Remove one of the out side jacks, and I would go via 1NT. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 OK so you bid 2♥, followed up by 3♥ over 2♠. Pd bids 3NT. 4♥ or not 4♥? 4H, I have a 7 carder. The 7th heart made this a 2H bid, and thats why you have to play 4H,because your hearts maay not runand you have no side entry. With kind regardssMarlowe PS: And I agree, 3NT shows add. strength orheart tolerance, and tolerance means 2 cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 4♥. We have 7 where we might have had 6, and they are pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
