Apollo81 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 ---AQ10xxAJ9x10xxx partner opens 1♠, RHO passes, you're playing 2/1 if you bid 1N partner will bid 2♣, whats your next callyou're not playing Bart or any other special toys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 1N and then 2N over 2♣. Some will bid 2♥, but I think thats the wrong approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 2N, could be a silly contract but p will bid a 3-card hearts now if he has it and a little extra. If p bids 3♠ now then I'm allowed to fluke at the system once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 If this is imps I'll just make a slight overbid and go with 2♥. Life will probably be much simpler then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi, 1NT seems clear. And I guess, openers 2C bid could be made on a 3 carder? Ok, 2H is an underbid, and should showa 6 carder anyway.I would go with 3C, the alternative being3H, if I have agreed, that this is a fit jump. With kind regardsMarlowe PS: Please dont tell me, 2C could be made on a doubleton ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 after 2♣ I'd bid 2♦ showing 5 hearts. With no agreements I like 2NT rather than 3♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 1N 2N, I will give this a WTP. Switch to bart afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I don't think this qualifies for "WTP" There clearly is a problem with this sequence, although your presumed point that there are no good alternatives may be valid. If I had held this hand I would have at least considered a 2♥ response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Noble imagine pard having the same hand with majors changed and minors changed. it's a wtp opener but what game are we going to make? yuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Noble imagine pard having the same hand with majors changed and minors changed. it's a wtp opener but what game are we going to make? yuck! Right but my point is there is the chance a direct 2♥ will run afoul of a hand like that but then what if partner is 5323 or 5314 and passes 2NT when 4h is cold? There are problems both ways. I think 1NT,2♥ is a reasonable sequence as well with this hand despite the extra strength. I would also bid 1N 2N but dont think its auto.

Apollo81 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 The action chosen at the table was 1NT,2♥. Partner (me) had K6xxx K98 10 AKxx and raised. If this hand had bid 2NT it still would have worked out since I would have bid 3♥ over 2NT so the decision was irrelevant on the actual hand.
