effervesce Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 3♥. Partner won't have spades anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 2♥ was an underbid with this hand. If partner "doesn't have ♠ anyway" how do you play 2♠ here? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 2S then 3H would be a perfect description of your hand. Your hand is way too powerful to bid 2H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 2♥ is a BIG underbid with this much playing strength. All S needs is two major suit queens and game is cold ! N can take his choice of 3♥ (this is a good 6 carder and often plays OK opposite a stiff) or 2♠ (I'd like to have 5, but this is a good 4 carder and a few hands may exist where the 4-3 ♠ fit is our only game) Blame 100% to N for a serious underbid. For those who don't think this is a serious underbid, I suggest they use ZARs and with caution when there's likely no fit, and even then they'll see how much playing strength N has. .. neilkaz ..

TimG Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I faced a similar decision recently, holding ♠AKx ♥AQT9xx ♦xxx ♣T, I opened 1♥ and partner responded 1♠. I think a case can be made for rebidding 2♥, 2♠ or 3♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 3H. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Agree with justin: 2♠ + 3♥ = perfect. This will probably lead to a losing 3NT, but hey, you win the post mortem. What more could one wish for? :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Just because partner can't have four spades is no reason to bid 2S, then 3H because then partner knows that - you have a game try with 4-6 in the majors- thus, any major suit honours (e.g. the SQ) are good, while minor minor suit honours are likely to be worthless. While if you just bid 3H partner doesn't know what cards are working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
