jdonn Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 If I claim that "this bid is reasonable since you may need to take the chance partner has a little something" and you reply "but it will work badly if partner has nothing at all" then I don't think we have anything to argue about. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 3♦ - a clear overbid. As has already been pointed out, 2♠ would have shown a very good hand with more spades than hearts, since you are forcing partner to bid again at the 3 level with a signficant preference for hearts. That bid happens to show your hand very nicely. 3♦ should show a monster, about 9 playing tricks in the majors - something like AKQTx AKQTx x xx. You can give partner an out at 3♥ in case he has something truely dreadful, like the hand I gave as an example above. Partner should bid game with a zero count with a real fit for one of your suits. Even xx xxx xxxx xxxx might be enough if you really have a 3♦ call. This has nothing to do with practical bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
