maggieb Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I'm assuming we aren't playing lebensohl, or else this isn't really a problem. I would try 4♣. This could work out really poorly but it's good for our hand that partner decided not to bid a natural 2N despite holding 4 hearts (it seems). This means he is more likely to have minimal heart waste and/or 5 clubs, both of which are good; of course he could just have a terrible hand, in which case this is going to work out badly, but the opponents are a passed hand opposite a preempt, so I doubt they can double me. If we were NV I would pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume the former and pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggieb Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 ye, worth 1 more, I would try 3♥Presumably this means that you are willing to play 3N opposite any hand with a heart stopper, since if you bid 3♥ and pull it's forcing. Sorry, I don't get this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Sure. The question implies, that Lebensohl was not part of the partnership agreement,but that does not change the answer.I would go with 4H, would not be the first game I reach, which has no play. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 4C looks good to me. Agree with Maggieb about bidding 3H and then 4C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
