JLOL Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 3D is a clear error, just bid 3H. 4S is a clear error, and led to this disaster. Just raise to 5D. Since 3D did not cause this disaster at all I'd say the 4S bidder gets 100 % of the blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hi, 3D showed 6-4, 3H instead of 3D would have shown 6-5,which comes closer?4D showed not necessarily 7-4, it just denied min. spadetolerance. In the end someone needed to stop at a lower level, this isnot easy, I doubt that you can reasonably stop below the 4 level, and every contract above and including 4H wont bea lot of fun. So you could have bid better, but most blame goes to the gods. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I would advise against 3♣. The misfit warning is out. Ignore it at your own risk. Better to stay low and bid 2♠. If you can't stand missing out a game, even at MPs, then by all means bid 3♠ (if invitational). Over 2♠, opener will probably bid 3♦, to which you should probably PASS.

Codo Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 To me 2 ♠ after 2 ♥ had been forcing, so I had used that instead of 3♣.3♦ was a serious error, 3 ♥ shows this hand.3 ♠ was a forced error, because you missed to show your long spades earlier. 4 ♠ was horrible. But it was impossible to find something convincing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSGibson Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 The spade bidder knows he's playing opposite a singleton or void, and knows his suit cannot play opposite shortness, so 4 spades is very wrong. Not enamored with some of the other bids, but 4 spades stands out as the worst of the bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
