jchiu Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 No hand, no suit, no game ... therefore no bid. Is double the monkey option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

655321 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 3♠, not close for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 3♠, not close for me. 3♠ is not close for me. If 3 ♣ was a normal bid, we may win the board by better defense, lesser declarer play or missed games/slams on their side.If 3 ♣ was offshape, they may struggle themself. There is no need to randomize the bidding by an antifield call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 3♠ at matchpointspass at imps Could miss a game, but that's life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegill Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think you have to bid 3♠, or else you will lose too many partscore swings and miss too many games. Occasionally you will go for a number but at least you're favorable, and they haven't doubled yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 This would be an auto 3♠ at MPs since -1 or -2 could win the board. Likewise an auto 3♠ if partner were not a PH - somebody has to act. I would even bid 3♠ if LHO were a PH because the chance we go for a number is way reduced in that case. As the given conditions are not the above, I'd pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Passers win this one. 3♣-1 gets you +100, while bidding 3♠ will get a raise from partner and a prompt double from your LHO, who has nothing except ♠AQJx and some other stray high card; 4♠ will go down either 2 or 3 depending on how it is played/defended. If you doubled, congratulations. You get +200 for being completely ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
