CSGibson Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 [hv=d=n&v=e&s=sj9ht873dqjt86c95]133|100|Scoring: MP1♦-(p)-?[/hv] Playing inverted minors against a random club pair, what would your call be? (just for the record, I think this is a wtp hand, but I witnessed violent disagreement over what this hand should do, so I'm checking with the masses) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I'd bid 3D. If you play this more constructively then 1H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 disagree with 655321: 1♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Playing a 6-9 or so criss-cross raise, this is a wtp 3♦ hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Playing a 6-9 or so criss-cross raise, this is a wtp 3♦ hand. Playing a 6-9 or so criss-cross raise, this is a wtp 1 ♥ hand. I could have much weaker 6 HCP hands for the bidding then this gem.And if the hand belong to us, we should introduce our major. There is still time to bid our minor when we have no fit.

han Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 You are right Codo, if the hand belongs to us then 1H should work fine. But there is a good chance that it is their hand and they may have a good spade fit. In that case I'd rather preempt immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 agree with making a weak 3♦ bid if theres another way to show a constructive diamond raise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Now this is my idea of a one-bid hand! 3♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 3♦. Seriously, wtp? If partner really has enough for game the bidding will continue p 3♥ p 4♥, and if he doesn't then it belongs to them in a black suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRW Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Well, from my point of view, playing with my regular partner, I'd be pretty sure that this hand belongs to them and strictly speaking I don't have a response (we have quite a set of artificial strong 2 bids that clips off the top of what partner might have for a one bid - not sure I like it but that is how we've evolved for now - at least it normally means that we do not need to respond on a couple of jacks and a queen). However, especially at this vuln., I'd take a flier at 3D. With a more normal responding hand, I wouldn't have suppressed the 4 card major, but wtp here. Playing US style, who knows. I can potentially see why there was an argument. If you must play really wide ranging one bids - well there are upsides and there are downsides, like every other choice with bidding systems - live with it.

Guest Jlall Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 It depends if you define 3D as "bid with 18-19 bal" or "pass with 18-19 bal" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
