MickyB Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 1♠-P-1NT-X2♥-P-2S-3♦P-P-3♥ What do you expect for 3♥? Does it make any difference if you are playing four-card majors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Clearly this shows the hand from that other thread: ♠xxx♥Kxxxx♦xx♣QTx I was wondering what to bid with this hand after 1NT...2♥. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 How about: Kx AQx x xxxxxxx ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 How about: Kx AQx x xxxxxxx ? That's a good example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I was about to write that it is impossible but Han's example makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I like 3-4, would never bid this way with 2-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I like 3-4, would never bid this way with 2-3 Agree. Can't see why we should be at the 3-level on two 7-card fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 This thread has made me feel better B) My instinct at the table was that partner must be 3=4, it didn't seem terribly likely but I hadn't come up with anything more sensible. He was actually trying to make a game-try for 4♠ - Kxx AJT xxxx xxx. Perhaps that meaning is better iff you are playing 4cM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Isn't Kx AQx x xxxxxxx a competitive double? "Partner, what to do?" So freeing 3H for "It's our hand, but where?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I can't see Xing 3D in that auction as "competitive." That looks like a "they're down" double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I would never bid 1NT with such a hand, but then, I don't play 4-card majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 He was actually trying to make a game-try for 4♠ - Kxx AJT xxxx xxx. Perhaps that meaning is better iff you are playing 4cM. One round earlier he tried to sign off in 2S. Since then, he has learned (a) that his LHO has a good hand, and (b) that his partner didn't want to compete over 3D. Playing 3H as a game try doesn't seem very sensible, regardless of your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
