phil_20686 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 AQxA987xxAKTx 1♦ p 1♥ p? Is this enough for a 3c rebid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Depends. Did partner bid 1♥ over 1♦? Or did lefty? A full auction would help. edit: did you edit that or am I blind? Anyway, now I say 3♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicklont Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 2♣You are allowed to hold a maximum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich-b Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 2♣ is enough.Bidding 3♣ also makes it more difficult to sort out the minor suit lengths correctly, on a reasonably low level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 2♣, yes, it is a wtp. I'm not excited about stiff A plus a ratty diamond suit. If partner passes 2♣ who is to say this isn't the right contract? If we have any hope of game partner would almost definitely give a (false) preference to 2♦ in which we can then invite. Seems perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Nope not enough for 3C. A rule I learned that doesn't seem so popular to teach anymore is try to avoid reversing or jump shifting if your anchor suit is very weak if possible. Here your playing strength is just not enough though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 A rule I learned that doesn't seem so popular to teach anymore is try to avoid reversing or jump shifting if your anchor suit is very weak if possible. Pls don't teach it. The opponents' bidding is getting better against us anyway. Keep this one a secret :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Yes it is a wtp 3C is game forcing opposite a minimum heart response.Try constructing hands that pass 2C where you are making game. I can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgr Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 If you bid 2♣ with this hand...Is it bad to play 2♣ as forcing and 3♣ as mini-splinter (12-14 or 18-19) with ♥-fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 2♣ seems right, when I was given this hand as a problem, the first thing I thought of was 2N... lol Having actually considered this a bit, it's a pretty easy 2♣, and definitely not enough for 3♣.

You would need to put in a lot of works on the followups at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I give it a try :lol: ♠xx♥Kxxxx♦Kx♣Qxxx .. off a heart and a trump in 5♦. Do you bid over 2♣ with this? Maybe, the minor suit honors look pretty good.

dellache Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'd bid 2♣ :1. a tad too weak for 3♣2. if you bid 3♣, you'll struggle then to differentiate between 5-5, 6-4 and 5-4.3. if you bid 3♣, finding the 6-2 Heart fit will be more difficult. If pard has 8+HCP he MUST bid 2♦ to keep the sequence alive, even with 3424. (I would be more annoyed with ♥Kx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 You can always construct hands where you wanna be in game. I hate this hand since 2♣ could be 4-5 in my system. I am thinking about bidding 2♦ as an option. Those who move lightly over 2♣ are overbidding too much IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 2c now I rebid 2d...easy..pard could have only 3clubs and extras...so the auction continues: 1d=1h2c=2d? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yes, I see a risk in 3C with partner backed into my weak 6xD. But, I do have H-Qx, a good 4xC, SA single, how will partner picture this much with his H-AKxxxx? H-AKxxx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
