OleBerg Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Imps, red vs white. 1♥-(P)-2♥-(X)XX-(P)-3♣? 5-card major. What do you expect partner to hold, if he is: 1) "Expert" on BBO? 2) A reasonable player? 3) An expert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 1) 2 hearts, 6 clubs, 4 count2) 3 hearts, 6-7 decent clubs, 2 count3) 14 cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonottawa Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I expect that he is holding a bong, or perhaps a crack pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Was LHO's pass to play? If yes, then partner is running from 2♥R. Unusual, but he must have a good club suit and not much else. If no, he has a bad hand for defense, a decent club suit (usually 6) and (until we're told otherwise) invitational values opposite the XX.

CSGibson Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Assuming the LHO's pass was not to play (otherwise it is an obvious runout with long clubs and few points), then I assume that 3 clubs is showing a hand with club help when helping partner in deciding whether to go to 4 hearts, while also acting as a lead director in case RHO bids some more.
