neilkaz Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Will they make ? Maybe..how about an OT? ..perhaps but I doubt it. What will happen if I bid 2♦ on Kxx and PD has some cards ? What will happen if he doesn't and has only 3 card support ? I fear -2x too often to bid, but obviously if ♥ weaker I have to, or even here with my pointed suits reversed, I bid 1♠ Pass and and even if they are making, perhaps opener bids a 4 or 5 card suit with weakish ♥ cuz he's scared.

han Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I dealt 60 hands vaguely consistent with the auction: opener had 11+ points and 5+ hearts, responder at most 5 points and partner had 8+ points and at least 3 cards in all other suits (not in hearts). When checking manually I only selected 16 deals that seemed consistent with the auction (I also required that LHO would pass if you pass). For example, I threw out several hands where responder had a 6-card spade suit. Double dummy 1H can be made twice on those 16 hands. A spade lead is the best double dummy lead by far (only 1 hand where a spade is not among the best leads). Besides the two hands where 1H makes it goes down four 1 time, down three 6 times, down two 4 times and down one 3 times. I pass. (notice I ignored Csaba's comment that LHO might have more than 6 points) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
