fromageGB Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 1) X2) 1♠ - you are far too good to pass, and those hearts are brilliant.3) I sometimes have difficulty counting to 13, but it looks like 13 to me. I would have bid 3♦ initially to show the strength, but now, having bid 2♦, I must think. I play 4SF at the 3 level as game forcing, so as partner thinks I have a 12 count, I am far too good for 4S. I bid 4NT, ace asking with spades as the trump suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I looked at the other posts so I could just quote one and say I agree, but I didn't find one :D 1 - Double. Like MFA I would have made a negative double.2 - 1♠3 - 4♠ I think all of these are fairly easy calls... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 OK I can quote one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 1. Dbl. Hope pard won't take this as a request for some silly heart lead... well, he rates to have a natural minor suit lead anyway. 2. 1♠. Seems quite normal. 3. This auction seems inconsistent... pard is a passed hand, so he's likely to have some heart fit to bid the 4SF. I can't really believe he has some 5-1-3-4 and 11 hcp. But if he's got a heart fit, how come he didn't use Drury?? Anyway, I'll just bid 3♦ and wait for him to clear up the mess. If it goes 3♦ 3NT now I know he really has that 5-1-3-4 and sucks at bidding :D I'd pull 3NT to 4♠, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 1. pass2. 1 ♠ wtp?3. 4 ♠ Pd cannot have a heart raise, he had raised Hearts then. :) So I give him some nice 11 point hand with some diamond values, so that he upgraded his hand.
