paulg Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 [hv=d=e&v=n&s=saxxhadaqjxxxxcax]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv]RHO opens 2♣, showing 11-15 points with 6+ clubs, or 5+ clubs and 4+ major. Your call? If you double, what is your plan if your partner responds 4♥ or 4♠? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewj Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'd quite like to bid 3♦ if that's strong. I really don't know what to do after 4M...could be right to pass or pull with both hands. If partner bids 4♠, I think I might well bid 5♣...if partner has one diamond, I feel like I want to be in slam and I reckon there is a decent chance of that given the lack of a ♣ raise or ♥ bid. If partner bids 4♥, then I'd probably bid 5♦, partner could have KQJxxx (x) and out but he not and we flail away in a 5-1 fit. Plus we could still have slam on if partner has something like Kxx QJTxxx K xxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'd quite like to bid 3♦ if that's strong. It wasn't actually me in the hot seat, rather one of ewj's opponents in the Junior Camrose this weekend. I did ask how they played 3♦ and it would have been weak. I have no strong feelings about what strength is best. p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Even if we're 100% sure that partner will take 3♦ as not a preempt, I'm not sure it describes a hand this good. I would double, and bid a natural 5♦ over partner's 4♥ bid (if that happens). If partner bids 4♠, I would bid RKC and then 5/6/7 spades depending on how many top spade honors partner has.
