Hanoi5 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 As East, all vulnerable, you open this hand: ♠QT♥4♦AKTxx♣Q8xxx 1♦-1♠-2♥-2♠??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Pass. Any bid is too likely to get us to a hopeless game. Playing a limited opening system 3♣ is clear, assuming 1♦ is limited to 15 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Playing precision: 3♣ wtp?Playing SAYC or 2/1: I think I will still bid 3♣, but I'm not too happy about it. Partner could easily misread the situation, but if partner rebids 3♥, I raise to 4, and I think we have found a good game. Otherwise, I'll wait and see :D.

Hanoi5 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 So, 2♥ is FG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 No 2♥ isn't a GF, but if you take a freebid here you're pretty much doing so. Partner can (and almost certainly will) act over 2♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelm Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Unless you are playing Negative Free Bids, 2H is forcing.Having said that, although I am not forced to bid anymore I believe 3C doesn't show extras because if I was forced to bid (if oppos have passed) that would be as "weak" as repeating Diams. since partner can go back to my original suit at the same level. IMO we have two shot hand. Gratefully with this auction we can bid our hand to its full extent. If by any reason you believe this should be "stronger" then Pass.

whereagles Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 It's a textbook good-bad 2NT. Without it, pard might be tempted to play you for extras when he shouldn't, or for a min hand when you have extras :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 If I had some way to show a bad 3♣ bid I'd use it, otherwise I'd pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Pass. I hope to be able to bid clubs later so that partner knows I have a bad hand with both minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yes, this is a textbook good bad 2 NT. :) I had loved to use it, but this is so far from standard. I pass because for me 3 Club would show an opener. This hand is lousy, I don't have an opener any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Pass. Unless playing g/b or something, 3♣ shows extras. You were only forced to 2NT over 2♥ since if you bid 2NT partner could have passed, so bidding beyond the level in competition to which you were forced without competition must show extras.

oldman5757 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 This very bad hand has gotten even worse. The way to show that is to pass, and then keep passing. 3♣ should show a much better hand than this, and would be virtually game forcing. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmunte1 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Obvious pass. Even playing G/B 2NT this is a pass hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
