TimG Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I think I'll bid 4♦, I don't want partner to mistake 4♣ for some sort of encouragement. And, partner should be prepared for me to return to my suit, it will be a common action over his 3♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 With a club guard I would usually bid 3NT just in case that was what p was fishing for. With this junk it might be better to bid 4♦. Interesting problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 4♦ now. I wouldn't have opened this hand 2♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'm sure it won't be popular, and I'm honestly not sure what I would do, but if there was ever a hand where the odds are with passing a forcing bid before things get worse...

Free Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I'd pass, twice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I would open 3♦ or 4♦, never 2♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi, I may be in a minority here, but I dont believe,that 3H is forcing, so I would pass. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill1157 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Thanks all for the comments: I was north and my hand: Kx.AQJ9x.AKTx.xx, I felt that 3 top losers made 5D unlikely and I hoped to survive 3H.Anyway, this was with a new partner who had earlier not opened a weak 2D because he had a weak side 4 card major. In spite of my strength, perhaps my best call is 4d over 3c? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 4♦. It's tempting to pass, but it could be terribly wrong. And very undiciplined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
