han Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'd pass, too little to act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Pass also. I would like another Q at least before I bid 3S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Reelo Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 A pretty obvious 3♠ in my view. Opp's only bidding to the 3-level and me having a singleton ♥ strongly suggests that partner has some ♥ lenght Therefore he most likely has a (semi)balanced hand with 19+ points. If I pass, he'll double again and then I won't know what to bid. If I bid 3♠ partner will be in an excellent position to judge correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm going to risk a 3♠ bid as well. If pard bids 3NT now, he probably won't have less than 19, so it might make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I am trying for slam with 19 + opposite any freely bid 3 Spade bid, so I would just pass now and see what happens next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Pass, let partner bid his own hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 3S. Pard probably is balanced and still doubled so I expect extras. We must strive to act. What's a 'deludge'? Sounds like 'deluxe fudge'. Mmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Deludge is what Noah when through, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Pass but close to 3♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 No bid. Close call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 3♠ and I really don't think it's that close. I just don't see not fighting for this hand. I would stretch to bid 4 here so I don't even think 3 is an overbid, just a minimum. And if I knew my opponents were going to pass this, I'd sure raise my partner's 2 bid to 3 a lot more often. Another queen would be right if I was 4234 or something. Noah went through a deluge. A deludge doesn't exist but sounds to me like something where a lot of mud is dumped on me, or maybe what Phil said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jlall Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Agree with 3S and not that close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Too weak for me to bid, I pass but not confident... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcvetkov Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Problem with 3S I think is that partner will expect more from free bid, ,,, and may get too high I am suprised somewhat responsive dbl getting very few votes. I think it describes this hand , better then 3S, and you are not sure of the right strain. I will probably choose between pass and dbl,,, pass more likely at the table. If pd doubles again, I am bidding 4s and hope for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 To me, a responsive double would deny 4 spades. I suppose you could have a specific agreement to the contrary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 To me, a responsive double would deny 4 spades. I suppose you could have a specific agreement to the contrary. It usually won't have them, but there is nothing wrong with doubling with a game force that is, say, 4-2 in the majors, just on the slight chance partner can pass (maybe he is 4333 15, or 3244 or something), and to bid 4♠ if he doesn't. Obviously you would only do that on a hand where if he passed you would be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
