jdonn Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I assume you mean LHO opened 1♠. I'll just pass. Yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm not passing. Need to know a little more about agreements before deciding what to do. Might introduce my nice (!) ♥ suit or bid 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Assume no unusual agreements. Undiscussed if 3 of a new suit here is forcing or not. (Since a cheap cue bid is available, my gut reaction is no.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it is unplayable to play a new suit is forcing here, because stopping in 3M is just way too important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchett Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 3 of a new suit should clearly be forcing here otherwise bidding after the preempt is just too difficult. I don't mind 3♥ or 3NT. Over 3♥ partner has room to hedge with 3♠ if he doesn't have a clear bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
