Fasteddy Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 It seems to be conventional wisdom that 2♣ here shows a good hand, but 2♣ has great obstructive value and should be a viable option when 3♣ would be too rich. If your partnership agrees that 2♣ can be bid with hands like this, advancer shouldn't get carried away. There's room for a cuebid or 2NT (which should be forcing) when pard has a good hand, so the structure can usually tolerate a wide range for the overcall. The Italians, who used 3♣ to show a two-suiter, had no problems bidding 2♣ with these hands, and they did okay:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
