matmat Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 pass and get a good number. I probably posted the question at the wrong point in the auction. Partner balances with 2♠, rho passes. What now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 3 NT, maybe it wil not make, but I cannot bid less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 selfish bump -- is 3N really a wtp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 yea i mean what are you gonna do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 3NT, yes wtp? Introduce partner to the famous Russian player after the round - Isla Kutchanutzov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 3NT is the only intelligent choice. Unless you can bid 3♥ to show hearts + diamonds and a FG hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 My actions in order: 1. Pass over 2♥2. Put a bullet in partner for not balancing with a double3. Bid 3NT, and hope for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I think 2N is enough. We have a misfit, and our hearts though well positioned are not a trick source like they would usually be, and we only have 12 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 3NT obv. I guess I'll regret this if partner is spades and diamonds and we are weak in clubs, but more likely to me is he has clubs on the side with his spades and there is absolutely nowhere for the opponents to get tricks.

matmat Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 k. thanks. was just cross checking. P had something like: AK9xxx Tx ATxx x and they ran clubs on. us in 3n :rolleyes:oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I really think partner should pass out 2♥. But we do make a fair amount of spades or diamonds so it sure could have worked out to reopen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I really think partner should pass out 2♥. lol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 At imps ill bid 3Nt because its a hand where it might make and even 2 might fail. (it like a 5 or 7 hand) At MP il bid 2Nt because if we go down the undertrick will be important. Also that 2Nt dont expose the trap pass as clearly as 3Nt do. Obvious 2S by partner.

Rossoneri Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Well said, though I think at the table in MPs I would usually just get aggressive and bid 3N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
