all play standard 2/1 system.

 

W----N----E----S

-----------1C---P

1H---P----2C---P

3C---P----P----P

 

West 3C supposed to be invitational, but you can see his intention to block NS contract.

 

N/S missed cold 4S contract in VUL. who has more reason to make a bid, and when ?

 

thanks

It should be:

1♣-1♦-Pa-1♥

2♣-Pa-Pa-2♠

Pa-4♠-All pass

South missed his bid - 1♦

:) how can S pass the first time with a hand clearly worth an opening bid? Either 1♦ or 1♠ are automatic. (I slightly prefer 1♠).

 

:rolleyes: how can N pass on his first bid ? 1♠ is clear, although I'd consider 2♥ if natural as I play it, but still prefer 1♠ getting the boss suit into the picture and noting we still can have game here.

 

:rolleyes: how can S pass the 2nd time? A take out double with 9 cards in the unbid suits seems totally clear.

 

After that, N's 2nd pass is clear, and while S could balance at the end, it seems a bit risky now and might run into trouble.

 

This hand is a good example of what can happen when General Whiteflag :ph34r: sits across from Colonel Whiteflag :unsure:

Exactly, 3 chances missed! :unsure:

South needed to bid.

(1C) 1D (1H) 1S, or (1C) 1S (P) 2H[forcing], and both auctions lead to 4S.

It is a bidder's game and I think South has good reason to enter the auction. Other opportunities: After (1C) P (1H), North could have bid a natural 2H. And, after opener rebids 2C, South could enter the auction, maybe by a Dbl which should show a hand that had a flaw for takeout double first round.
