Guest Jlall Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 It is a decision between 3H and 4H, I would choose the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 4♥. If partner has a very strong hand with spades, he will bid 4♠ now. I am in a much better position than I would have been if I had 5 spades instead of 5 hearts. Then a jump to 4♠ may create problems.

Codo Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 If you play Lebensohl, you may show Heart with direct 2 ♥, direct 3 ♥ or with 2 NT followed by 3 ♥.We play that the later is invitational and a direct jump game forcing, so I would choose that and bid 3 ♥.

neilkaz Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 2♥ This is too good for a direct 2♥. I won't hang PD for a min t/o X and will just invite, but honestlly don't mind the direct jump to 4♥ as game is often making opposite a minimum, even for my T/O X of 2♦ which can be quite min. .. neilkaz ..

rogerclee Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 3♥ if this is GF, otherwise 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Freaky. Partner doubles, RHO passes, and I have 1 diamond? Either partner is has incredible power or, well, incredible power. I don't think I'm bidding 4♥. If 3♥ isn't GF, I'll do 3♦. I would be surprised if we stopped short of slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 4H though with some trepidation. Pd may well pass this when we belong in Clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 4♥....even if 3♥ is forcing, which is how I play it (lebensohl issue), 3♥ shows a different hand type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjames Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I agree with above posters, 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 3♥. What if partner get's too excited with 4♥? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I would also choose 4H. Partner would not get too overly excited as we would have other ways of getting to 4H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
