mtvesuvius Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 All NV at IMPs with partner dealing, you hold: ♠ 9xx♥ ATxxx♦ J♣ K9xx 1♦ - (2♣) - P - (P)X - (P) - ? Also, do you agree with your pass the first time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I tried to vote 3 Heart, what else can this be as a maximum for my pass? And I agree with the first pass. I had been able to bid 2 Heart noforcing with 8 HCPS, but I had not done so with such a lousy suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flameous Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Partner's double is practically forced so I don't want to hang him for doing it. I'll go low with 2H. I trust that partner with 4H or 16+ will go on, and I'm happy to accept any invites. I think I would have bid nf 2H, it's a close call though since I can't handle a diamond rebid.

Hanoi5 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 3♥ from me, too. Maybe 2 is enough but our hand was very close to not passing before. Problem with 3♥ is that partner won't be able to bid 3♣, so 2♥ could be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 3♥. Closer to cue than to bid 2 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 3♥ from me, too. Maybe 2 is enough but our hand was very close to not passing before. Problem with 3♥ is that partner won't be able to bid 3♣, so 2♥ could be better. Why should he be able to bid 3 Club? When we belong in NT, he should not have doubled....When he needs a strong raise, he will find other ways... 4 Club f.e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fachiru Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 To me, bidding 3♥ now is the equivalent of hanging partner for reopening on any minimum hand with ♣ shortness. It's not even close: imo, 2♥=10; 3♥=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 3♥. Way too good for 2, and a cue bid tends to show a balanced hand without a stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I would have been sorely tempted to make a negative double over 2♣, but pass is a very reasonable call. Now, I will bid a calm 2♥. I have something in reserve for my call, but bidding 3♥ now could easily hang partner for reopening the bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Guys, even if pard dbled with a min, 3♥ should have some play. And if he reopened with a few extras, we can be burying a cold game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Agree with Pass last time, now 3♥ of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 3♥ is clearly the bid, if you bid.... But pass is not a bad option, I think it's very close. It's not hard to imagine them down several, even when we don't have a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Pass and pass, having a singleton in partner's suit is enough for me to play for penalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgr Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I would have started with DBL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
