hanp Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 OK I'm going to file a complaint, posting a hand like this is inappropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 2N. And, no, I'm not happy about it. 2nd choice is to put a diamond in with my hearts and tell that particular lie instead, but whatever. They don't always lead diamonds on this auction if you bid quickly and confidently, so whatever you do, don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 2NT seems fair. Not ideal, but liveable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I bid 2♦. Even if it's supposed to have a club fit, if partner bids hearts, notrump, even spades, then I probably found a better place to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Josh, I think we rather play in clubs than spades, partner ain't bidding 2♣ with 4 good spades and 5 clubs. 2♦ is a strong alternative to 2NT anyway. But I like 2NT because it defines our hand right here and we don't have to make any further decision later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Josh, I think we rather play in clubs than spades, partner ain't bidding 2♣ with 4 good spades and 5 clubs. He is if he is me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotShot Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 If they are strong enough most of my partners would dbl with 2 places to play. So partner would be single suited (probably weak) and my chances to find a better spot are small. So I would pass and bid 2♥ over dbl.

Codo Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Most of my good partners won't double 1 ♦ with two places to play. I always rant against the idea that the overcall should show a fit. But with the given method, I would try 2 NT. I will stop diamonds after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fachiru Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 You can't really pass with this hand opposite a 2 level overcall at vuln. IMPs.Of course, things can easily get outta hand, but I'll try a 2♦ cue; I'm really hoping for a ♥ bid, but I'll raise 2nt to 3nt and pass 3♣ or 2♠.

bid_em_up Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 You can't really pass with this hand opposite a 2 level overcall at vuln. IMPs. You wanna bet? Pass seems clear cut to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 You can't really pass with this hand opposite a 2 level overcall at vuln. IMPs. You wanna bet? Pass seems clear cut to me. Also a passer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I bid 2NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 2N. And, no, I'm not happy about it. 2nd choice is to put a diamond in with my hearts and tell that particular lie instead, but whatever. They don't always lead diamonds on this auction if you bid quickly and confidently, so whatever you do, don't think. I'm not at all confident that a diamond lead would be best for the opponents, I have no problem bidding 2N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Is that ♦65432? Even the 7 might be valuable! I try 2♦. I have great respect for partner's 2-level overcalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDean Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I would bid 2♦. I would not try to play in spades, but hearts, no trump, and clubs all seem possible. Would definitely want to know diamond spots and partner's style before deciding if I will let him/her out below game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I will pass, particularly as partner overcalled 1D and this can be light. By the way, I agree with Roland - I definitely would not bid 2C with 5C and 4 good S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcw Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Lets see. I can bid 2NT without a stopper, or I can Q 2♦ and hope P has a Major, or I can pass. So all are flawed but with a possible misfit Pass seems best. And, I may get a chance to bid later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Interesting thread. I doubt I would have thought of 2♦ at the table. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'd definitely bid with this hand. 2♦ or 2NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
