rd6789 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 As another btw, I very much dislike the overcall. me too - and the 2♥ bid - and the pull to 2♠ - perhaps three wrongs make a right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 3 wrongs make a random I'd say :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 No way running now. 1S the round before was better than 2H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 IT doesn't matter on this hand why I didn't bid 1S the first time, but I would Gump 2S now. However, the reason I didn't bid 1S was fear that voluntarily bidding 2H on the next round might suggest more constructive values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodwintr Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Does "modern" mean partner might have, say, x Qxxxx Jxx AQ98? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 of course, there is a thread about exactly that hand many times queted since 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern means that pass over 1♣ denies a 5card major... :) aguahombreHowever, the reason I didn't bid 1S was fear that voluntarily bidding 2H on the next round might suggest more constructive values. Yes that's the problem. We can only bid once unless forced so we have to choose. If we bid 1♠ we hope to be able to take a preference to 2♥ later. Otherwise our fit will probably remain hidden.

gwnn Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 the point is that when you see your opps penalize you confidently, it often pays to escape. Sorry everyone, I still think 2♠ is clear. Whenever you have a rational escape route, take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
