whereagles Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 If pass now is "no preference", then pass and pull pard's 2D/H to 3♣. If pass now is "let's play", then 1NT + pull to 2♣ if doubled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotShot Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 If opps 1♣ is 3+, 2♣ should be natural now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_c Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I'll bid 3♣. Seems important to make some encouraging noise. I don't even mind if partner thinks it's forcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 If opps 1♣ is 3+, 2♣ should be natural now. Hi you hold Kxx AQxx xx Axxx in the same auction. Your bid pls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Agree with 2C natural and pass please bid something partner. If I didn't feel confident about partner being on the same wavelength (I often wouldn't) then I would just bid 1N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't feel confident about partner being on the same wavelength (I often wouldn't) then I would just bid 1N. See, I'd take a delayed 3♣ as clubs and a direct 2♣ as a good hand I suppose you'd take the delayed 3♣ as a cue bid? No idea what is best or what is standard.

Sometimes you don't have a good hand with clubs and you just have a shitty hand with clubs then you don't want to bid 3C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I polled a few good players on this one, and 2♠ (or pass) is available with a good hand. Ergo, 2♣ is natural. I stand corrected. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASkolnick Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Mikeh, with KQTxx opposite your parnter's known stiff (at best), you want to play 2S. Spades showed 4, xx showed 3, only 1 left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
