Fluffy Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I bid a practical 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 There was a thread recently where everyone except me claimed that 3S was forcing here. And yet it's not even a poll option... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 There was a thread recently where everyone except me claimed that 3S was forcing here. And yet it's not even a poll option... Huh? They raised to 3D so 3S is not a jump. Anyways I'm fine with 3S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I prefer 4♣ here. My hand gets pretty good if pard has some clubs and extras. Will pull pard's 4♥ to 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 The non existent 3S bid for me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They raised to 3D so 3S is not a jump. Anyways I'm fine with 3S. Yes, the auction was something resembling 1S (2C) 2D (3C) and everyone except me - including you, I think - claimed that 3S by opener was forcing.

Fluffy Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 there is a huge difference between a 2/1 and a take out double. 2/1 normally shows that this is our hand. I'd even say that pass is forcinga after a 2/1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogeshdg Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Those who would bid 3♠ plz select 3nt for now.I need at least 50 votes then we can debate once all hands are revealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think that this auction is incredibly different from the auction posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Always include an option 'Other'! Usually a lot of people here find some other/better bid than you included. Here I go for 3♠ as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi, either 3S (non-forcing) or 4S. 3S is certainly the correct bid, but I maytake a long time coming to this conclusion,which may lead to bidding 4S. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 3♠ seems perfect. And yes I believe it's NF on this auction but forcing if partner had bid a suit instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'm also a 3♠ bidder here. If we survive this round we're well placed... Could even be in the right spot if it goes all pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 3♠ partner is allowed to make a takeout double on a hand that just wants to compete. We have a little extra so are happy to compete one level higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
