Rado Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hi,After Opps bid 2 suits the probabilities of our game are reduced dramatically. 3NT is out of question. Still there is a slight chance for 4♥, but our partner did not overcall 2♦ so in my view best bid for us now is to PASSRegardsRado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mishovnbg Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Pass Can be alerted: willing to compete but failed because lack of materials :lol: Kidding of course :blink: Misho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Lots of defensive strength here, and no offense. Presumably 2S is forcing, so they'll be going somewhere, and it's not likely you are. Bring out the pass card very quickly. If partner has a good suit he can bid it, although this is unlikely given his first pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSH Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Presumably 2S is forcing I think you should check this, if it is forcing, pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishovnbg Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Presumably 2S is forcing I think you should check this, if it is forcing, pass. ... and if 2♠ is NF, then also pass, but higher quality one :blink: Misho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Pass as many others said... My first thought was "is 2♠ forcing?", but it doesn't change my bid. I don't have enough for 2NT, don't have a long suit of my own,... Let partner get into the auction again, nobody plays 2♠ after such auction on my table :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr1303 Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 3Nt isn't a contract you want to be in here. Just because the spades happen to block and neither opponent has anything resembling their bids doesn't mean that you want to play it.

Flame Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Not that i see how you are going to make 3nt here, but even if you could it doesnt matter, you cant get 100%, misho has a nice sentence about perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trpltrbl Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 If opps alert it as just 5+ suit they have to give more info then that. If it is not forcing it needs to be disclosed.Mike :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 If Sth has any S pip at all 2S goes off anyway. Try 1D 1C 3H and the 13th H. 3N is a poosr contract and I cannot see how it made. If 2S was non forcing it should have been alerted, but as others have said, I would still pass.Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 where is the ♠10? Blame yourself for not leading a ♦, against 2♠, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted May 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 I have to 10♠ (its shown in the first post) I led 2♠, taken by A♠♦return which I won with 9I returned 3♠ to setup my 10♠(my bad play I assume) Which ♦ should I lead and why? tyia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertn Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 Hi Jilly, Things went wrong when you led A♥, which lets them make a trick with Q♥. A club (possibly safest), diamond, low heart, or low spade would have been ok on the actual distribution ;) You can use Deep Finesse to help analyse the play, though remember it's a double dummy solver so won't always suggest the 'correct' play, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 I have to 10♠ (its shown in the first post) I led 2♠, taken by A♠♦return which I won with 9I returned 3♠ to setup my 10♠(my bad play I assume) Which ♦ should I lead and why? tyia I think I would have been inclined to duck the first round to ♣. What happens next may help you in the later decision when you are next in, and it cuts down on potential ♣ entries to ♦ if you happen to set them up for declarer. When you are in, it seems fairly safe to play ♦A. I cannot think of a ♦ distribution in the unseen hands that it can cost, given the auction and (more importantly) the earlier ♦ play.
