kenrexford Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 This is a toughie. My general thought is that a 1NT overcall sets the important facts first -- general shape and strength. If, however, you will bid 2♦ with any weak(ish) hand and reserve the extremely anti-preemptive 1♦ (at least at IMP scoring) for a sound overcall (would definitely open this), then OK. As to after 4♦. Sure, I want a stiff club and the diamond King, and that's all. But, will he have that? No reason to believe that strongly, IMO. I wish I knew, but that's the downside of preempts -- can hurt us too. I'll pass. I have a sinking feeling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 1♦ and pass. Looks obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 1♦ and pass. Hope we make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 5 Diamond? Why not a slam try? If pd has a preempt, I will fail in 4 Diamonds, so why should I bid more?And I agree with 1 Diamond. Why should I make the small lie of 1 NT when I have a natural call avaiable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmunte1 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 1♦ and pass and hope. I don't believe in fairy-tales :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Agree with 1♦ and pass now. How many tricks we make in diamonds depends on how many clubs partner has. We have no reason to assume club shortage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I think there is some evidence from the auction that partner is short in clubs rather than majors. Anyway that may just leave us with a second heart loser to worry about, so pass remains the sensible choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Pass, I'd expect us to go down in 4 more often than make 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 1D was perfect, now pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 My regular partner bid 3NT over my preemptive 3♦ raise in an ACBL matchpoint game on BBO last night. He achieved -150 for a round score. Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpleboi Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Thanks all for the response.. think everybody would pass which was what I did... I played in 4♦..anyway heres the full hand [hv=d=e&v=n&n=sj6543ht75dqt932c&w=sq987ha986djcjt53&e=st2hj43dk8cakq976&s=sakhkq2da7654c842]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] Made 5.. and lost imps..Any comments?

P_Marlowe Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 #1 1D is ok, the alternative being pass or if you are brave / foolish enough overcall 1NT, I wont pass and I wont overcall 1NT. #2 pass, wrong shape, wrong honors. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or any other bids? Or Pass :D[/hv] IMO Agree 1♦ = 10, _X =3, 1N = 2.Now, _P = 10, 5♦ = 8.LHO announced the majors but RHO was not enthused, so I agree with Halo that partner may be short in ♣. Hence the decision may be closer than most think. I wrote the above before simpleboi's revelation of partner's hand :) Did you run ♦Q to make 11 tricks?

However, even with a trump loser, its still possible to use the 5th ♠ for the 11th trick.. and still the possibility of ♥A onside.. So seems like a game that should be in for IMPs What do ya think? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
