jtfanclub Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 pass you really think this is going to be passed out unless pt has lots of diamonds? No, I think the next call is going to be 4♦, so I get to decide whether I'd rather bid clubs at the 3 level or the 5 level. One of the nice things about a 6-6 is that we're extremely likely to have a fit. Of course, they're extremely likely to have a fit too. I suspect they just found theirs (or one of theirs). I guess I don't see how 3♣ can be an overbid. It's a four freakin' loser hand. I also think a pass may encourage partner to overbid his 6 card spade suit. After all, the more non-spade cards I show, the fewer spades I'll have on the average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 3♣.Need to bid my 2nd suit now. I'd not be comfortable having to bid it at ther 4- or 5-level. The playing strength of this hand is immense. With only 9hcp we've got a 4-loser hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 come on then , what was the full deal ; want to know what happens , and whether or the john collings route would have been best ...the one I would have followed the full deal is not that important because it was a gouhlie . suffice it to say there was no fit for either side. The dude I kibbed bid 1♥-p-1♠-2♦2♥-p-3♦-p3♥-p-3♠-p4♥-p-6♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catatonic Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 that's the point really , isn't it ? there is rarely a fit , and if there is you generally hear about it if you listen what would JC have done in 2nd hand after a pass by dealer ?passed like a flash , and waited to collect the money you are sadly missed john , your partnership with jonathan cansino was becoming amongst the best in the world until your 2 heart attacks and jonathan's subsequent brain tumour put an end to your careers at the highest level ,both at barely 30 years of age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Uh Cat on the tonic, :lol: wasn't it Collings who passed on x AKQxxxxxxx x x who then asked "What did you have?" when his pd tossed in the hand. The reply was, "Nothing much, just 3 Aces." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Knowing that this was a ghoulash hand might have influenced the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
