mtvesuvius Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 2NT.Yes, and partner should bid 4♣ as "Game-Invitational" and if I'm your partner I'll make 5♣ :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'm toying with the idea of passing. Partner holds a lot of HCP's but also too many hearts. 2NT could be passed. If this weren't the case (or if we weren't red) I'd bid 2NT at ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 2NT. Agree. Lose 6 or 7 from not acting is much more likely than going for a number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 2NT, and if partner were to bid 4 of a minor I would bid game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this weren't the case (or if we weren't red) I'd bid 2NT at ease. Why does partner have a lot of hearts? Partner could have 4 hearts, 3. And 2NT shows the minors. If partner decides to pass 2NT and it turns out we have the minors, why would that be bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 We have some defense against 4♥, plus pard may have a couple hearts. So there's little risk to push them into a making game and we should compete with 2NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich-b Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 2NT. I think it is clear, but I would be more worried of getting caught for 500 in 3m, than of missing a 5m game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Yes you might go for 500 but it isn't that likely I think. We are not bidding 2NT to get to game by the way, we are fighting for the partscore. At least I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 2NT, and if partner were to bid 4 of a minor I would bid game. Yes, me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Agree with all that 2NT is called for. It's important to fight for the partscore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryallen Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 What is really intriguing me is why partner never doubled? and why openers partner only bid 2♥? It would not surprise me to see partner with opening points and 4522 or similar and our only chance of a + score lying with a pass. But that is just one pessimistic line of many better possible outcomes, with the added benefit that the opposition could save our bacon by bidding 3♥. If you bid 2NT the best I can see realistically coming out of this is playing in 3 of a minor or defending 3♥, which looks good enough for me as I don't see us getting into a load of trouble. The one thing that does concern me is playing in 4 of a minor, but the only way I can see that happening is if partner has no defence to 3♥, in which case 4 of a minor would be perfectly good.

Trinidad Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 It would not surprise me to see partner with opening points and 4522 or similar [].Is 2524 similar enough? :o Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
