TimG Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Takeout. 2♥, I think there is too much potential wastage in their suits to bid more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Tim has this exactly right. Partner has a takeout double with diamond shortness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Clearly takeout. I'll make a mild underbid of 2♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 2♥, and it is no underbid. Partner is in the live-seat. Against competent opposition, in a strong homogeneous field, I wouldn't even consider 3♥, if they press with 3♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 The X of 2♦ by partner is his way of saying I can't stand to pass but should be a TOX of ♦ so I bid 2♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
