dellache Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I was just looking at our 1920 agreements with pard, and had some doubts about the following one :(1m) X (PASS) 1♥(PASS) What would 1♠ show now (and why?) :1. 4+♠ NF, strongish game still possible facing 6-7 HCP.2. The same, but 5+ Spades. If the latter, what do you bid with 4=3=x=x (or 42xx) and no suitable hand for NT ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 1♠ is 5+ spades and too strong for a 1♠ overcall, i.e. 17+ points or such. with a 43xx and not stopper in opps'suit you either pass (11-16 pts) or bid 2m (opps suits) with 17+ points.

Personally I would take as a hand too good to overcall 1♠but with either no ♥ fit or 3 at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Without agreements, assume it is a hand too good to overcall 1S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 You can construct hands where 1♠ is four, but it isn't real common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKQx Kx AQJx xxx 1♣ - dbl - pass - 1♥pass - ? As a matter of fact I remember a very old MSC where Rubens suggested that even a 2 of a minor rebid could be four.

jdonn Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I think that hand should bid 2♣, but I can see 1♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
