Phil Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 ♠JTxx ♥x ♦AQJTxx ♣Ax All Vul, IMPs 1♦ - 1♥ - 1♠ - 1N - ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 3♠ (3♥ if you can) seems good. Either the king of diamonds is on my right or RHO is psyching with a big heart fit. In either case I want to be aggressive, but I don't like just going to 4 because partner will push toward slam too often over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Contested or uncontested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Contested or uncontested? Hahaha good question, I was assuming contested. I guess that's because uncontested it seems like a wtp 2♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll get a good bidding diagram button on here one of these days :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLOL Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 3D could work but it's just way too big of a bid imo. If partner has A K K with the DK he will bid again anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 2♦ is enough for me with this likely missfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerclee Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I would just bid 2♦. Bidding more can work, but it is unlikely to get us to a game better than one on a finesse, and it can work out very poorly as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll get a good bidding diagram button on here one of these days :( how about 1d - 1h1s - 1n ? i don't understand why people try to put all the bids on a single line. 2d for me.

skjaeran Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 i don't understand why people try to put all the bids on a single line. Me neither. A good bidding diagram template would be nice to have. But it should be possible to post auctions that can't be misunderstood without it.

A good bidding diagram template would be nice to have. But it should be possible to post auctions that can't be misunderstood without it. Just like we can post play problems without the diagrams too. Anyway, I bid a mildly crazy 3N over 1N. If pard has his bid and a small doubleton diamond, I think we have the right IMP odds. Pard did have ♠Axx ♥A9xxx♦x ♣JTxx. Got a club lead, club continuation (with the King (?!)), but the ♦Kx was onside so 3N turned out to be monumentally lucky. I've given the hand to a lot of people, and I'm getting a lot of support for anything from 2♦, 3♦ and 3N. Personally, I think its close but 3N is an overbid, since there are a lot of hands where it has no play, and some others pard will move over 2♦.

JLOL Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 If partner has 2 little diamonds and 2 aces don't you think he would bid 3N over 3D? If you bid 3N that seems to imply that you think you will miss games often enough when partner is passing that to justify bidding 3N. No offense to you but that seems really absurd to me.

Sure its absurd, but since I'm getting a lot of 2♦, wtp, I think its far from a non-problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
