Hanoi5 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 [hv=d=s&v=n&s=sxhjxxxxxdxxc8xxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] You're West and bidding goes: Pass Pass 1♠ X2♥* ??? Two hearts is alerted as one-under, showing a 7-9 HCP support hand in spades. So, what's your bid? and what do your options mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I Pass. Because I have no points? If it turns out that partner has half the pack we can still get to 4♥.If 4♠ comes back to me, with my singleton spade and 6-4 shape I will probably bid 5♥.

Agree completely with pass and the first statement, disagree completely with the second statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I pass, due to insufficient high cards to take a voluntary action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 If I consider bidding 5♥ over 4♠ I would rather show my hearts now to get p involved in the decision. I voted 3♥ since dbl is available for showing hearts with more points. But maybe double should just show general strength and 3♥ be an honest bid?

ArtK78 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Pass for now. I don't want to give partner the impression that I actually have values. I will get another chance to bid. But if LHO passes out the 2♥ transfer, I will live with that. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Pass now is clear, may bid later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I pass, since any other call would show values I don't remotely hold. If partner comes to life again, I migth make a call later in the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I pass, since any other call would show values I don't remotely hold. If partner comes to life again, I migth make a call later in the auction. Partner won't necessarily have to come to life again. What would you call if the bidding came back around: (P) - P - (1♠) - Dbl(2♥) - P - (2♠) - P(P) - ? Here I think we would want to bid 3♥ having already passed initially and passed again over 2♥. However, I do agree with yours (and everyone else's) general point of limiting our hand even further before taking any action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Obvious 3NT bid :unsure: Since I'm a passed hand and RHO made a bid of 7-9 hcp, this can hardly be natural and thus must suggest a save over 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
