mtvesuvius Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Partner opens 2♦ Multi in 2nd Seat Red vs. White at MPs and you hold: ♠ AQJxx♥ x♦ KQJ9xx♣ x Your poison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLOL Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 pass, if he has spades they will balance with 2H anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Tough one. If partner has 2 spades I'd love to play 2♠ but we can't really do that unless I pass and then bid spades when the opps balance. How sound are partner's preempts at this vul? Argh! I really don't want to defend 3♣ here but it looks like it's going that way. If I pass now maybe partner can bid with good support. Also, passing only gives them 1 chance to balance, rather than 2.

Free Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Pass is indeed pretty obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich-b Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Pass , and be happy you are playing Multi - if partner had opened 2♥ , you could not reach 2♦ ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Well, pass is obvious if 2♦ can't be a strong balanced hand. Of course it's not very likely that pard has 19-21 but I think I'd 2♥ then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_s Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I think it depends on your goals for the match and how well you think you're doing so far.Pass will definitely lead to an abnormal result - which might be what you want if you badly need a top.It's definitely a bit of a view though. I expect my partner's preempts to be sound in 2nd position at red, so I think the 'normal' action is 2H. This wrong-sides the contract of course, so you may be beating the field just from doing this. Of course partner could always have a strong hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'd bid 2♥. But then again, I don't play multi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 agree with pass; our suit is likely to be better than partner's suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 pass, if he has spades they will balance with 2H anyways. Yes, pass is obvious. But the balanced 23 won't be funny :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
