the hog Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Yes, 3H. Why? My hand is totally useless as dummy, the hand with the opening bid won't be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olliebol Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 all those non forcing bids here east is 100 percent waiting to whack 2 sp otherwise i make no sense from bidding so 3 hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattieShoe Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I would bid 3♥ trusting parter to know he should zip it. I wouldn't use it with such a long suit, but there's also the redouble convention 1* P P X P P XX <--- SOS partner, pick different suit I don't know if that convention holds when there's an overcall and rebid like that though.

neilkaz Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 If my pard doesn't rescue me here, I will be leaving to walk our new dog. EDIT as this is B/I. It seems quite likely that east may even hold a penalty pass of 1♠ !! I just pull to my 7 card suit and sometimes they may not be able to X that or I even make.

P_Marlowe Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi, Since the dog, with which to make a walk is living 300-400km awayand since I am the only one suggesting pass: It is certainly partially systemic thing, but since I play forcing NT, my firstpass already denied 3 card support and +4HCP, also excluding weakerhands with shape.And knowing this, partner is bidding 2S. Unless one thinks partner is not a grown up and knowes what he hisdoing, I think pass is clear cut. Partner will have a good 6 card suit, and at least one out side defence, i.e. he will be able to make 6 tricks overall most of the time, ... without my help. Bidding 3H is only good, if we make 7 tricks, because otherwise it wontbe cheaper than 2S. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Yes, unless I have some reason to want revenge on partner for something earlier in the session :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Yes, unless I have some reason to want revenge on partner for something earlier in the session :)unclear. yes pull, or yes agree with marlowe?. I think yes pull. East could have doubled last round for penalty--certainly not a responsive double opposite a balancing action. So East has pretty much nothing but good spades. I would not be surprised if pard has enough stuff to make 3H while 2S goes down. AXXXX AX X AQXX might go down one in 3H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
