sathyab Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 1) Partner could have as little as i) xxx Qxx Qxxx Qxx or as much as ii) xxx Kxx Axxx xxx. On i) 4♦ is most likely going down one barring a very lucky lay-out in hearts whereas ii) is making 10 or 11 tricks whenever ♦s split, depending on the ♥ finesse. If you agree that 2nt by partner over 2♠ is not terribly useful as a natural bid, you can make a distinction between good and bad raises to 3m on such auctions. 2) Quite a few people passed RHO's 2♥ with AQxxx xx KJTxx x (there was a typo in the hand I posted; you have two ♥s and a stiff ♣; hopefully it won't affect your bidding decision, but will affect you opening lead probably). Partner has T9x xxx Axxx xxx. Unless he bids 4♠ over LHO's 4♥, you didn't lose or gain by passing. But I am curious about your requirements for a 2-level overcall. We've always been warned about preempting over a preempt. Although this hand doesn't fall in that category, it looks like fairly light action. What if RHO had preempted 3♥ would you be overcalling 3♠ ? And was it only because of the favorable vulnerability or would you overcall regardless ? An interesting point about this hand is the opening lead. If you lead an auto stiff ♣ you're greeted with KJx KT xx AKQTxx in dummy ;) Anyone who leads the ♠A and switches to ♦s would pick up a lot of MP.

Jlall Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 The ace of spades is far and away the right lead with AQxxx xx KJTxx x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
