mikegill Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Looks like a normal pass to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiddity Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 This is just a bit too scary for me, with the long spades behind me and a heart fit. 3H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 3♥ and I dont think it's close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bid_em_up Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 They're vul. and we're white? If you were behind the 1S bidder, this is a pass, wtp? expecting 500/800. Since you are in front of the 1S bidder, this hand should be downgraded on it's defensive potential. Partner has doubled for takeout and will hold at least three, and probably four hearts. While it's tempting to pass at these colors, it is probably better to show the heart suit here. Bid 3H. Double 3S if given the chance. I would not be surprised if pass is the winning choice on this particular hand, however, I would not expect it to win in the long run. jmoo.

nigel_k Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Definitely 3♥. I would compare this to passing a takeout double of 1♠. They're a level higher but you expect RHO to have more spades and partner a singleton at the very most. And it's game if they make. You basically need solid spades to pass this.

Cyberyeti Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I bid whichever of 3♥ or 2N followed by 3♥ shows the worse hand in the system I play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woefuwabit Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 3♥ look like the normal bid. Passing may be a good idea if you need to create swings to catch up on IMPs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 3♥ look like the normal bid. Passing may be a good idea if you need to create swings to catch up on IMPs though.not even then. Catch up by playing good bridge. Maybe the other table won't get it right. 3H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 2 Nt followed by 3 ♥ and it is not close. W/O this tool 3 ♥ is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegill Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Whoops yeah thought it was matchpoints. You definitely can't pass this at IMPs. I think pass is a reasonable shot at MPs though. It seems not unreasonable to hope to take 3 tricks and for partner to have 3 sitting behind overcaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 3♥ we can stop the spades so no problem with dumm being tapped. 3♣ second choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
