Guest Jlall Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I think 4C is a little too much with this hand, 3 is enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossoneri Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I voted 3♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Ok, three is enough to convince me I am not crazy. Partner seemed to show some mild disapproval when I bid 3♣ and then pulled his 3NT to 4♣. Both are going at least down 1, but 3NT is down a ton on a switch after the heart lead. Partner has ♠x ♥KQxx ♦QJ ♣AKJxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I think 4C is a little too much with this hand, 3 is enough. lol, sorry I was not trying to be obnoxious, I often don't read the polls and just read the threads so I didn't realize it was 3C or pass. Needless to say I'm not a fan of pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 ...but I wouldn't pull partner's 3NT bid.There's nothing wrong with 3C on this hand. If partner thinks 3NT is making, why should we think differently? JxxAQxAAKxxxx OK, I agree 3NT may not be making, but also we haven't been doubled yet, and I'm not convinced that - opposite heart stuff - 4C is likely to be much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 3C. Don't like passing with an ok unbal hand and 4 card support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossoneri Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I probably wouldn't pull 3N unless there was a double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I pass, I like the queen of clubs and the stiff Heart, but I hate anything else here, so I agree with your partner that I had expected more from you then this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 3C for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JxxAQxAAKxxxx OK, I agree 3NT may not be making, but also we haven't been doubled yet, and I'm not convinced that - opposite heart stuff - 4C is likely to be much better Agree with Frances :) This hand is about what partner can expect as a minimum 3♣ raise, so why pull 3N? If 3N is a wrap, you may have some explaining to do :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Not to raise C looks criminal to me. Had my partner bid 3N that is where we play it. Passing after 2H should be a hanging offence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 3♣ I guess, but I would probably bid 4. I'm not ashamed to put this dummy down in 5 at MPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchiu Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Uh 3♣ wtp when sober? 4♣ to help it sink in if partner hasn't already noticed that I wasn't. Judging from the ensuing 'discussion', the four pass votes came from terminals attended by monkeys with high probability. By the theory of monkeys, only about (22-4 =) 18 of the 3♣ votes are legitimate in expectation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Not convinced at all by partner's 3NT bid. He was evidently expecting a lot more, when the auction suggests that I haven't got a lot more. The club suit isn't anything more than one would expect for a vulnerable overcall, and the red cards are waste paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Easy 3♣ IMO, and I'd be happy to pass 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
