OleBerg Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 A guess can never be correct, as it would then not be a guess. :-) My best guess would be a take-out double, planning to correct 4♦ to 4♠. That is an overbid off course, but I will rather overbid than misbid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 since pass is posted as an option I guess 2♣ is not GF. Pass looks like a bridgt idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass looks like a bridgt idea. me tooAs I would have opened: ♠ KQ10973♥ K3♦ Q53♣ 82 with one spade, I have a Club and a King more than I have already shown. And my spade suit is a tad above average for this sequence. But in general terms, you'll have no problem convincing me that pass is right.

ArtK78 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I bid 4♣ even if this is not a forcing sequence. I do not want to defend 3♥, and 3NT is out of the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 My partners 2/1s are sound, so I "must" make another move. I try X as "do something intelligent" and if pd passes, I am fine with that descission. Yes pass will often be a winning bid, but may fav. opps tend to bid on many hands without many HCPS in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Assuming we are playing 2/1, partner's pass is 100% forcing. I am assuming we are playing 2/1, and so I bid 4♣. Playing SAYC, I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMor Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 3♠ Don't want to Pass, don't want the opening lead to come thorough the ♥K. Don't know if pard's pass is forcing beyond 2♠ or 3♣, depends on agreements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Like some of the other posters I assume we are not playing 2/1 GF since pass is a poll option. I'l pass, I don't see a plus score coming from this hand, and we're vul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 3♠. I don't like 3NT because I have only 1 stopper and no quick tricks other than 5-6 clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianshark Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 H_Karluk, it seems to be a common theme in your recent threads that you post an auction without enough information on the methods of the players involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flameous Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 My first reaction was double, meaning "Do something intelligent" like Codo put it. I guess it's also known as a "maximum double". If my double would be penalty, I pass. (In 2/1 GF 4C stands out of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 so why would you want to pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I voted 4C. I am almost persuaded by the passers. But I have great club support so far concealed, and I don't fancy concealing it for ever. Perhaps I should have bid 3C last time and 3S this time.

mr1303 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I try 4C here only because passing is a breach of partnership discipline if I'm playing 2/1, as tempting as it is to do it anyway. Incidentally, even playing 2/1, should 4C here be forcing? Mike Lawrence recommended that a 2/1 is forcing to 4 of a minor only if 3NT isn't playable, which I believe it isn't here.

nige1 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 [hv=d=n&v=n&s=skqt973hk3dq3ck53]133|100| 1♠ P 2♣2♥ 2♠ 3♥ P P ?[/hv]IMO 3N = 10, 3♠ = 9, 4♣ = 8, _P = 34♣ may be the majority expert choice but Hamman has brainwashed ordinary players like me. Whenever I bid 4♣, partner holds ♠A ♥Jxx ♦Jxxx ♣Axxxx or a more suitable hand. Pass may be the practical winning bid but, I reckon, even playing Acol, we are in a forcing-pass auction.

Fluffy Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 having no ace in our suits I won't bid 3NT even at IMPs, between 4♣ and 3♠ I find it close, I prefer 3♠ because I don't want a ♥ lead through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
