whereagles Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I like 2♦. The playing strength is adequate for the 4-3 fit and I doubt pard has the 4-4-3-2 hand. It sure beats pass :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I guess that 2 ♦ would lead to a 8 or more card fit quite often. So it would work as long as partner has no descissson to make what to do after a highet level prempt. In this case, he can failheavily when he expects more then xxx in trumps. I would bid 2 club, playing NFB and 2 diamond else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I think 2♦ is clearly the right bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poky Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I don't like 2♦. If 1♠ is 4+ spades, I have a clear double.If double is 4+ spades, I have a clear 1♠ (0-3 spades) bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Unlike some of the other commentators, I'm going to assume that you're asking this question in the context of a system which doesn't have a ready-made bid for this hand. I'd bid 2♦, planning to compete with 3♣. A 7-card fit will probably play well enough. A 6-card fit might be more awkward, but it won't happen that often and they won't always let us play there when it does - they do have an eight-card spade fit.

MFA Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I find it absolutely clearcut to bid 2♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I never, ever raise diamonds on 3 here. Partner simply overcompetes, it's almost a guarantee. Sure if everyone is barred over 2♦ it will work fine, but they aren't, especially not partner. This is not just an irrational fear on my part, I have seen it happen so many times.
