kfay Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Played this hand with Phil the other day. I thought afterwards 'surely this isn't how it was supposed to go' and even though I got a chuckle out of my own Airplane reference I am still upset that I don't know how it IS supposed to go. http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer...4584-1245581872 2NT was 2 places to play. So... BTW you don't play ELC or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfay Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Well I mean clearly I'm not upset about being IN 4♥. But is this the way to get there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Don't ind 2Nt. What agreement do you have about the strength and meaning, H&D or H & m? If H&D, prefer 3H over Phil's 3D and now Phil should bid 4H.If H&m, I would bid same as you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time when he bid 4♥, I thought that he might have superaccepting a transfer over a natural 2N and I was anticipating an 18 count with four hearts in dummy LOL. What should 3♥ really mean? At the table Paca pointed out that I am marked with at least 3 hearts here (do you see why?). Perhaps it should just be a forward-going hand non-specific to the minor.

Perhaps it should just be a forward-going hand non-specific to the minor. Don't see how it can be "forward going" - you need to bid 3♥ on a minimum with ♥+♣. The auction seems reasonable to me.

Very true. Good hands with clubs just bid them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Am so disappointed. I thought this topic was about something else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
