mtvesuvius Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 V vs NV at IMPs with RHO dealing, you hold: ♠ 73♥ AJT52♦ Q♣ AJT42 RHO opens 2♠, your bid? BTW, You play Leaping Michaels, and 3♠ would be Stopper Asking (Feel free to disagree) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 BTW, You play Leaping Michaels, and 3♠ would be Stopper Asking (Feel free to disagree)free to disagree with the fact that these are your methods? :P I don't think this hand is strong enough for LM, so I don't think i'd find that call... i don't like passing this, but i think i will.

Phil Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 3♥. I'm not passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sathyab Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 3♥. I'm not passing.I picked up a similar hand in the Reisinger a while ago. With neither Vul, ♠K5 ♥AJ652 ♦KQ862 ♣8. Partner passes, RHO opens 2♠. Passing feels wrong, but the hand isn't strong enough for Leaping Michaels. 3♥ with such weak spots looks terrible, especially when holding a two-suiter. What's the best bid ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 3♥, I just don't think you can afford to pass. If partner were a passed hand it would be a really tough decision. Maybe it would be right to pass but I just don't know if I could make myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 3♥ as well. Given the spade shortness, I have to bid. Since I'm about a K light for a leaping michaels, 3H is normal. Might have to drive to the 4 level anyway if LHO dbls on the spot :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 agressive 4♣ for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 3 ♥, no way I would bid 4 ♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just agree that this hand is good enough for Leaping Michaels. If that's really ruled out, you have to bid 3♥; I can't think of anything else remotely sensible.

andy_h Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Agree with 3H. Passing with 5-5 headed by AJT's, don't think I can bare myself to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 My partner, a VERY aggressive bidder, opted for 4♣. I held Ax KQxxx xxxx Qx, and RHO bid 4♠... The opponents were not too sharp, so I opted for 6♥ on the guaranteed ♠ lead. The K♣ was on, so all was well. Anyway, I thought this was too weak for LM and kind of an ugly 3♥ overcall... Thanks for the responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played him for x AJTxx Ax AKTxx or xx AJTxx x AKJxx or something decent :) I agree that 4♣ is beyond "Very Aggressive"... Probably borderline insane, but he won't learn until he has to play it on the 6 level going for a number <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
