pashadia Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hi all. I was the Romanian partner :lol: The main reason I doubled instead of bidding 3♠ was that partner might easily have something like xx KQxx Kxxxx xx, for instance, which could easily resolve in a +500 or +800. This was a Junior competition, after all. Very good point about 2♠ on the second round, me and gwnn are playing that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catatonic Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I would just bid 3 D pt can still have 3D if he hasn't he can still bid 3S like the 2S reasoning ; a gadget that makes sense and doesn't cost ; will buy that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benlessard Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Easy pass for me. For the 3C partner should at least show a non-minimum hand and for the 2nd X he should have at least defensive tricks. He cannot be 4??6 or ??46 because he would have overcall 1D or 1S on round 1 or 2S/2nt on round 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I'm in the 4♦ camp here. Agree that 3♠ on partner's actual hand is better than double, but I undestand why he doubled. I've heard about 2♠ as Justin plays it, but don't think I've ever agreed to play it like that with any partner. Though I guess I would expect partner to have such a hand if this auction came up.

kenrexford Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Delayed canape makes sense, in some auctions. I can imagine having a natural 2♠ call, myself, because my overcalls tend to be sound, in some auctions. I also would have vew instances of this because i can overcall 2♣ naturally. That said, I like this. I also like this after a 1♦ opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Does nobody else play 1C p 1H p 2H 2S= 4S longer clubs? Wow I have never heard of it, and I love it. You rocked my world. I think that would have been the consensus interpretation in a 1980's MBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
