Free Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 You hold:[hv=d=e&v=e&s=skt8hqtda75ckqt65]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv] RHO opens a Muiderberg 2♥ (= weak hand, 5 card ♥, 4+ cards in an unknown minor) in 1st seat. I didn't like my choices, but we got an average out of this one. Me and my partner wonder what the best action with such a hand is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I've never played against these methods, but with all this defense and only 3 spades, I like pass a lot more than my second choice (takeout double). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Dbl but wouldn't blame p for passing with this hand. 3♣ is not very bad but dbl deswcribes the hand slightly better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I would X - the most flexible call. 3C is my 2nd choice, and wouldn't consider passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Double, WTP. Opening hand? check.Shortage in their suit? check.Support for all other suits? check. This hand is not a 3♣ overcall, either. 3 level overcalls are made by hands with a long suit, to show playing strength in the suit. Weak no trumps don't overcall suits at the 3 level.

Fluffy Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 double because of the 10s, otherwise this would be too weak to double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Pass. Only because they are vulnerable, and it is MP. Second choice is the obvious double. Best Regards Ole Berg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Once again, I am a lone bidder in the wilderness... I guess 2NT is just pushing too hard on this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'd double here - nothing else would be attractive to me. If forced to find another call, I'd pass - strongly prefer that over 3♣, which is the only viable option after double and pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winstonm Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Pass or double - I wouldn't complain whichever partner decided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benlessard Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 In MP its a clear X for me, in Imps its closer but still a X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
