benlessard Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 R vs W imps (P)------P-----(1S)-------X(2D!)---2H-----(P)--------??? xxxAxxAKxxAKx 2D was alerted as 4 trumps 7-9, opps are very agressive. We have an agreement that 4th hand bidding can be pretty light (when all other 3 players have showned points). Is it obvious ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdanno Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 2S, what else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 yeah 2♠, I think I am not staying away from game on this one. This is probably another of those sequences where you wanna know if partner has 5 hearts but he will still bid 3♥ with a minimum 2434 :/. Do people out there play 3m now as showing extras? woul it be different if 2♥ wasn't a free bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 2S is obvious on this round. Next round depends on what agreements you have. If new suits show extras and responder will jump to 4H aggressively with 5 decent hearts then you might be able to pass a 3H response.

Cascade Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Is what obvious? Oh I bid 2♠ btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 A second thought. Some partnerships might double for takeout here showing four hearts and then 2♥ shows five and something in which case I would bid 4♥. This seems a very inefficient convention of the opponents'. It keeps the bidding low so we can get in while they announce a fit. I suppose it is some sort of modified Drury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I think its pretty impossible to stop short of game with my hand. At 4H we got doubled for -2/ -500 for a terrible board. Afterward partner agree that he didnt have a 2H bid but said that maybe i should have bid just 3H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_s Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 So what was the 2♥ bid made on?...and was it "pretty light" as opposed to very light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterward partner agree that he didnt have a 2H bid but said that maybe i should have bid just 3H. What were you playing your partner for? I'd bid 2♥ as advancer with xx KQxx xxx xxxx or xx QJxxx Qxx xxx. Even if you think that's too weak, surely xx KQxxx xxx xxx is enough, so insisting on game seems excessive.

peachy Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Start with 2S. If partner should show a minor (and they are silent), bid 3H and leave it up to partner to raise. This is a nice hand but no texture and bad shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I really don't get half of the answers. It was posted that 2 HEart could be very light, so the choice is between pass and one more move. I think I would pass now and double 2 spade. Hopfully this gets my hand described.

benlessard Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I think I would pass now and double 2 spade. Hopfully this gets my hand described. Yep that is surely better. I wish i thought of that at the table. If partner pull to 3m you pass but if he bid 3H you bid the red game. 2H can be light but at imps it served no purpose to bid 2H if you never have a play for 3H. So imo to bid 2H with 24(34) shape and 5 pts is totally useless (unless you have the agreement that its a lead directing). It make sense to bid 2H with a hand that facing a good take-out double (1444) 15 pts and with a bit of luck you can make 3H/ or you have a good chance to defeat 3S if they take the push. The fact that opener didnt rebid 2S can suggest that he only had 4 trumps but still ive played partner for at least KJxxx and a side Q or KQxxx and a stiff spade.
