dicklont Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 1♥I won't double, defense doesn't work well with a (renonce=) void (sorry).I could bid an unusual 2NT, but when partner answers 3♦ or 3♥ I have no idea if he has a little something to give game a good chance.When partner raises or bids NT I introduce my diamond suit.When partner bids spades I bid game. Most likely opener is strong and will bid something and then I also bid diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Can't think of anything except 1♥. I could bid an unusual 2NTOnly if you have an unusual agreement about 2NT here. 2NT is usually strong and balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOL Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 655321!? I think this is way too good to balance with 1H. I would double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Perhaps 2♣ should show any two-suiter, rather than specifically the majors. We're not expecting competition, so there's less need to specify both suits immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would double.LOL, OK :rolleyes: Maybe I am wrong but I would still bid 1♥ because We have a 2 card discrepancy in the majors We are void in clubs We only have 15HCP, so even though the hand is very good there is still a good chance 1♥ won't be passed out - by starting with 1♥ I can bid diamonds later if necessary.I suppose some of this doesn't matter, it is true that if we defend a club contract we do have AK AK to make up for our void in trumps, and the opponents are vulnerable too. Maybe doubling then bidding hearts is a better plan after all (certainly better than I thought originally). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems too hard to sort everything out otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be done. Advancer normally bids 2♦, then: 2♥ = majors, NF 2♠ = pointed suits, NF 2NT = reds, NF 3♣ = reds, FG 3♦ = pointed suits, FG 3♥ = majors, FG Or something like that. I'd never agree to play this though - too much to remember for a fairly rare sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 This is very close, but I have a feeling that partner has a penalty pass, and they are trapped wherever they go... In fact, as a sick fantasy, pass may be best... Give RHO 5♠ and LHO 4♠ and an 18 count and now pass is a winner. Anyway... Back to reality. I will double, because I will usually have them trapped wherever they go, and the vulnerbility is favorable. If I had softer values or the vulnerbility was reversed, I would bid 1♥, since it will almost never be passed out... I'll jump in ♦ next then. So I think double is best, as it leaves all options open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 The plan is dbl + hearts + diamonds (or spades if pard rebids those). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Double because I think this is a little too good to balance 1♥, and because there might be a big penalty if partner can pass the double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Double looks normal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 close decision, but vulnerability asks for double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
