mtvesuvius Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Shouldn't this poll be called: "Yuck 2"? :P I take the low road and bid 3♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy_h Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I thought this is an easy 3D unless I'm missing something. Really can't see our "source" of tricks in any NT contract and if our tricks are based on power, I believe the opponents would be able to set up their 5/6 tricks before we set our suit(s) up. At least partner can be 6-5 or I can still get a club ruff or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 3♦ does seem rather obvious. I can't imagine why anyone would want to play this hand in any number of notrumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I pass like Csaba, maybe partner will figure out what I have and act accordingly or they do not double us and this is less expensive then any other contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtK78 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 My partner showed both minor suits. I have a preference. I show it by bidding 3♦. Is there something wrong with this algorithm? To paraphrase another poster: IMO 3♦=10; Anything else=0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 2NT vul with that hand isn't agressive, it's insane.... I'd bid 3♦, however, if I knew what partner was up to, I'd pass and let him declare this ***** himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossoneri Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 2NT vul with that hand isn't agressive, it's insane.... I'd bid 3♦, however, if I knew what partner was up to, I'd pass and let him declare this ***** himself. Quite right! Or as Ant590 would put it, let partner rot in his own pile of faeces...

mr1303 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 What about the 1NT opening? A prime 18 count B) 2NT is ultra sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
