hrothgar Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hand 1: We have a fit in clubsThey have a fit (and it sure isn't in Spades)5♣ seems pretty clear Hand 2: (I am presuming that 2NT shows a spade fit) I'd bid 3♣, natural and forcing Hand 3: 4♥. I'll rebid 4NT if they settle into Spades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 1. 5C with 4xC fit.2. Strong Notrump After Pass, SNAP makes 3C GF. Still GF after 2NT =max pass.3. Overcall Structure uses 2NT>1C as H+2nd with 7 losers. This hand fits that. Without OS, fearing their spades, 1H and fight this one out: H+D vs. S+C likely.

Phil Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 1. 5♣. I might make this on a spade lead, or it might be cold, or it might be a good sac against 4♥. Anyone that thinks they will be able to defend spades is kidding themselves. 2. Depends on what 2N means. If its 11-12 balanced, I bid 4♣. If it promises support, 3♣ looks normal, but I might psyche a cue of 3♥ on my way to 6. 3. 1♥, but have sympathy for 4♥, although I really want the ♥10 for this call. By the way to Dake50: Playing Overcall Structure, 2N does show hearts + another, but the lower count is 0-4 or 0-5, depending on your standards not 7 losers. 2♦ show the weaker hands with ♥/♦. Even if I were playing OS, I wouldn't make either call with 6♥/5♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 1) you can take ♥s out of the picture by bidding 5♣ 2) 3♣ should be forcing! 4♣ is Gerber? B) 3) show your 2 suited hand before they get ♠s in; 2NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 1. ... Anyone that thinks they will be able to defend spades is kidding themselves. Well if I double ... certainly. But a pass in tempo could go through, and might be our best chance at a plus score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 1) 5C. 2) I'm not sure (Bidding 2NT as passed hand without a fit isn't my style). 3) 1H. No need to jump around when it could easily be our deal. Even if the opponents do have a big spade fit, I will often get to show my diamonds at a reasonable level. For example after: (1C) 1H (1S) P (2S) 3D (4S) partner is perfectly placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 1. 5♣2. 4♣. 3♣ should be forcing but 4♣ is descriptive. Slight worry that those who suggested Gerber above may not have been joking.3. 1♥. May get to bid diamonds below the 5 level and involve partner in the final decision. Reluctant to use UNT with 6-5 and anyway I play it weak or strong and this isn't enough for a strong one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hand 2: (I am presuming that 2NT shows a spade fit) I'd bid 3♣, natural and forcing Come on, tell the truth. If 2N shows a spade fit, you'd bid 5♥ (Exclusionary Blackwood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hand 2: (I am presuming that 2NT shows a spade fit) I'd bid 3♣, natural and forcing Come on, tell the truth. If 2N shows a spade fit, you'd bid 5♥ (Exclusionary Blackwood). Only 20% of the time (for example with the possession of club 6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
