Free Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 2♠, NF, 5+ ♠s... Only strong bid is Dbl, and I don't feel strong with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Pass. 6HCP should be enough to let pd play 1NT in confort. Pd can have a doubleton in spades and 5 clubs or diamonds and I can put him in a very bad contract if I transfer to spades. And It's more difficult to compete for the opponents if I pass 1NT they don't know what's going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 i'd xfer to spades then pass... i imagine partner has something in hearts, but i wouldn't be very comfortable with rho's pass, given my weakness... it appears that the hands might play better at 2S, even if pard has a doubleton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Woops, misread this. Still, in this case I transfer to ♠ ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytoox Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 pass seems right, if I have t9 in spade, i will xfer to 2s. pd rates to have doubleton spade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwarf Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Hi Jilly, i would pass, pard is sat above opening hand and 1NT may be the better contract with at least 21 points your way, if opener then bids 2H i would then show spades. of coarse this is probably completely and utterly the wrong thing to do ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 I have a 5 card suit, these means, either my partner has 3 card support so we have a good fit to play in, or he has only 2, in that case he will lack of entries in my hand to stablish it, therefore I Wanna play in ♠ so I can make some tricks. When holding a 5 card suit with a weak hand that is able to play at level 2 opposite a balanced hand don´t doubt it much, just play there you will be right most time.When it is matchpoints you 'could' not wanna play on 5 card minors, but always play on 5 card majors. So use your own method: bid 2♠ (best imo, to make the strong hand lead) or transfer, just as you agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I pass. My hand is balanced and probably plays better in NT and it is 1 level lower. Mike :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
