West North East South

 

 Pass  3♥    Pass  ?

 

 

if you pass west double and east bid 3s. do you still pass after x or 3s

I would bid 4♥ at my first turn.

 

Having passed, it would be a mistake to bid - now the opponents have exchanged some information, and are likely to double you when that is right, or to bid 4♠ when it makes.

 

I don't expect 4♥ to make opposite partner's favorable preempt, but it might.

The opponents should be able to make some spades, even 4♠ will be cold some percentage of the time.

 

Here, I bid 4♥, possibly investing an extra 50 (it will be hard for them to double) to keep them quiet.

Pass and pass. You and partner probably have 9 tricks in hearts; they probably have a 9 card spade fit and you and partner a 8 card heart fit. 17 total tricks = they're probably 1 down.

Pass and Pass

[jtfanclub]

Not enough information.

 

If I had made the 3♥ bid, I would strongly recommend a pass. However, I do have partners who believe in solid 3 bids regardless of color, and with them you'd bid 4.

Hi,

 

Pass, but it depends on your partnership

agreements about preempts.

 

For us, 3H would show a hand, which will

go down at most 4, and this means I need

5 tricks to bid game with the intention to

make, and I have a hard time finding 4

let alone 5 tricks in my hand.

 

If 3S come back, I will pass it out, if

4S comes back I will hit it.

 

With kind regards

Marlowe

[whereagles]

keep passing. Pard's expected hand is something like..

 

Qxx

KQxxxxx

x

xx

 

Now ask yourself where do you want to be opposite those cards...

[helene_t]

Pass and pass, I expect we make 8 or 9 tricks in hearts. No reason to sac against a partscore at IMPs.

[vuroth]

The way I was taught, partner is allowed to give 500 on a 3 level preempt, but no more. Ergo, since we're NV, partner probably needs 4 tricks from me to make 4♥.

 

I don't have it, so I pass.

 

It push comes to shove, I'll take my chances defending, I think.
