655321 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 No, bidding is horrible here with 3 card ♠ and an 8 count. Should be unanimous :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I would pass. The main reason is, I dont see a sensible way to reopen. X - is only an option, if you play ELC, i.e. if you could bid 2D over 2C from partner, but I dont play ELC, and I am not sure, if one does play ELC in this position, and I would assume that partner may at least expect an opener after I changed 2C to 2D 2D - Not really apealing, if the King of hearts would be the King of diamonds, ... maybe, but it would be close, and I would mot likely still pass 1NT - ... What is left? With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I also pass, inspite of often playing ELC after balancing doubles. Here I think there's a bit more to loose than to gain. This is not an instant pass for me as it is for most here, but I do think it best to just pass unless opposite and PD who is very conservative about t/o doubling or overcalling. My pass decision is quicker playing with some of my current PD's who stretch to compete anyhow and will make 2 level overcalls on mediocre suits and somewhat offshape t/o doubles with little extra values. Opposite those PD's, it is extremely unlikely that we have game here and probably not our hand for part score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhall Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Pass. When I balance, I want partner to be able to take a bid holding his (likely) weak notrump opener without undue risk. If the intermediates were good enough, e.g., both red 10 9s, I would bid 2♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I got the unbid major, so, according to mathematician Borel's calculations, 7 hcp is enough to bid. Thus... Dbl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Even with a doubleton spades this hand would be too weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerclee Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I pass too. If I balance at the 2-level on trashy hands like this, it makes it very difficult for partner to judge what is going on whenever I have a reasonable hand.

meto Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I would bid 2♦ showing the length together with the possibility of ♥ as the second suit to escape in case of not finding the fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
