nick_s Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Matchpoints at the local club.2nd in hand. Love all. ♠ Q7♥ AKT2♦ 2♣ KQJT85 (2♠) - ? If you choose to X, your partner has a lebensohl 2N available. You're not playing leaping Michaels (just in case you're feeling tempted to distort your shape a little). Needless to say, my choice didn't work out too well or I wouldn't be posting the hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I would just overcall 3C. We might miss hearts but I can't handle partner bidding diamonds as my hand is not that strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 3♣ is clear. The risks of missing a 4-4 heart fit are outweighed by the auction becoming unmanageable if we double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Definitely 3♣. Can't stand if partner bidding diamonds if we double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 We have a good hand.. but I dont see where it is good enough to do anymore than 3♣. If we X and PD bids leb and then ♦ we will not be happy. If he responds 3♦ showing some values, we still may not come out all right as what do we then bid? If we then bid 3♥ many will think we have a hand too good to o/c 3♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 just because you got it right does not mean you are sane. Got it right? I'll take my chances in 3N tyvm. No I'm not implying its biddable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 You streched for your 3 Heart bid and your partner chickend out with a pass, no good idea. I think he should have tried 3 NT instead of passing. There are many hands where 3 NT is not worse then 3 heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he should have tried 3 NT instead of passing. There are many hands where 3 NT is not worse then 3 heart. We agree that trying for game in 3NT has better expectancy than passing 3♥ in a 43 fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I would also bid 3♣, this might also bury the 5-4 heart fit, but there is no alternative except leaping michaels wich I wouldn't try because I hate my ♠Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I really do not understand the pass of 3♥. I think 3NT is clear on the North hand. In fact, I might have bid 3NT over 3♣. But my requirements for a direct action over a preempt are higher than most posters. By the way, I think that 3♣ is the clear choice on the South cards.
