Cause good hands are so much fun


Recommended Posts

Why does this merit a "LOL", with or without Q? (Not that I think any posts deserve a "LOL", but that's a cultural thing.)

 

I'd bid 1. I've never overcalled at the one-level on a 20-count, but it's hard to imagine our making any game but 4. Pass, hoping to be able to double 1NT for penalties or 2 for takeout, might work, but we might also find ourselves defending 1 opposite Jxxx and Q

Because he's lazy and moderators are too awed to give him a spam warning :)

 

Incidently, I'll double, intending to bid 2 over the likely 2 by pard. The reason for action is we need very, very little in pard to make game. Heck,

is probably enough.

I have never overcalled on the one level with a 20 count before either... Well, maybe once before I learned about doubling and correcting... But this does look like a good situation to try it. I'm going to double however, since if partner bids clubs, maybe I should just shoot out 3NT... I will hopefully have avoided a lead, and even just the Q or J from partner gives me a good play at this.

The real problem is whether a 4-3 fit may play better... I doubt it.
