Jlall Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 pass for lack of anything better to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'm doubling. I hope the spade fit is 5-2 and not 4-2 (or 3-2...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 If I trust the preemptor to hold a 7 card suit I'll bid 3N. I fancy my chances opposite as little as Kxxx, Q10x, Qxxx, Jx. Yes I'm prepared to look very silly if it goes wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 [hv=d=w&v=b&s=sa4hkjt6dakt3ct93]133|100|Scoring: IMP(3♣) PASS (PASS) ?[/hv] In case you are wondering I don't think there is a twist here either.There are no good choices but you have to play the odds and X. There are those who advocate 3NT with hands like this. Gambling on partner having a ♣ stopper reasoning that the preemptor never has a solid suit. That should be enough to perhaps change the mind of those who refuse to preempt with[hv=d=w&v=b&s=sa4hkjt6dakt3ct93]133|100|Scoring: IMP(3♣) PASS (PASS) ?[/hv] and similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Policy pass, cannot handle the expected 3S by partner. Please try 3NT with this hand if I am the first-seat vulnerable preemptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 In the UK almost everybody opens 3N with AKQxxxx and out, and that is a large part of the logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Double. But partner has xfers: 3H->S then I try 3N; jump 4S can play if S-Hx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Double and try 3NT over 3♠. This is a good hand in the balancing seat so I think we have to do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Even though I pass I can actually understand double. However, bidding 3NT over 3♠ instead of passing it..... I'll just be nice and not comment except to say I don't get it?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Annoying, but I'd try a double. Good things might happen, if not partner will get some training in handling a 4-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Pass. 3NT is absurd; you have no stopper and no source of tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Against Italian players I pass; against Australian players I think I have to bid - I'ma X it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
