jtfanclub Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 What was 3♦? If it was a limit raise, I would be inclined to accept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I would have tried 5d over a first seat one club opening bid.In any case I bid 5D now over 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Once partner supports diamonds, I would bid game. I don't care whether 3♦ is weak, mixed or limit (well, if it's limit, I might worry about missing a slam). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matmat Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 pass over 3♣ holding so much shape and controls was way too meek. I'd probably 3♥ or some such myself, but wouldn't blame a direct 5♦ or, an occasional tilt-inducing 6♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care whether 3♦ is weak, mixed or limit (well, if it's limit, I might worry about missing a slam). well put Yes, and unless 3♦ is weak, game should be a favorite. Overcaller's pass after 3♦ is very wimpy and even if 3♦ is weak, he could make a game try. .. neilkaz .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtK78 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 South must have been looking at another hand. This is a clear game bid. If anything, South should be looking towards a possible slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 If partner puts down xxxx Kx xxxx xxx slam is pretty reasonable, so of course you should at least bid game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 #1 3D, what was the meaning of the bid? If it was inviational, 5D is clear, of course sometimes partner show up with 4 card support for my 5 card mayor, seldom, but I have seen it. If it was intended as weak, ... well I am one of the most ardent point counters out there, and even for me this hand does not look weak, and again, sometimes ... it happens. #2 Oppossite a weak 3D bid, pass is fine, and so is not selling out to 4C. #3 I dont like the delayed 4C bid, sometimes opponents bid game after such an sequence, it happens. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
