Jlall Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 2S obviously in the second auction. They have stopped in 2D and you need to fight for the partial. It's very important not to sell out on a hand like this. However the 1S overcall definitely the right bid, you don't need an opening hand to overcall at the 1 level (and you pretty much have an opening hand anyways). Having overcalled 1S, what you bid depends on whether or not 2H is forcing. If it is not forcing you can just pass. If it is forcing you should rebid 2S, limiting your hand.

Is that right? Or is the premise that 3c is natural not agreed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 T1: Pass, unless 2H was forcing, in which case I would go with 2ST2: 2S, I am not going to pass this one out, but than I am not going to pass over 1C, so in effect I would not be there With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
