gwnn Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 xxxxQxxxATxxx 1♣*-(2♣)-p**-p2♥-p-??? *- 16+**- 0-7 3♠ would be a splinter. 3♣ just a general force (not my methods) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 4♥ I think bidding 3♠ is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I play that pass is 0-7 or a trap pass. So partner should strain to reopen with a double... I'm bidding 3♣, because there should be a good reason why partner didn't. Partner shouldn't be 4531 or 4540 or something. I'm going to let partner get his hand off his chest a little more, then I'll bid 4♥ unless partner shows some very unusual hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 3 ♠ I have a fit, an ace and a splinter- and I have limited my hand to 0-7 already. If I would need the same hand with a fourth heart to splinter, I would wait for ages to bid one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Totally agree with Codo. Couldn't have said it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
