mishovnbg Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 4♦ competitive bid. I didn't expect opps to pass, probably they will bid 4♥, where I can bid 5♣. Having 7-4 is not good idea to bid your second suit directly, because lack of entries.Misho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Totally agree with Misho and will do the same ! <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 For me, this one has two possible options, 4♦ and a choice not given, DBL. Here, dbl is for takeout (all my doubles are for takeout until a fit has been found). The possible problems with DBL. 1) Can dbl here be "game try" in ♠'s, freeing up 3♠ bid as competitive? I don't think so, support will have to already be shown for that to apply. 2) Our clubs are short and our diamonds are good. Even if partner has a club fit, ♦ are strong enough to stand alone. It would be better to play in a 7-1 diamond fit rather than a 4-3 club fit here. 3) Partner may take the double at least a tolerence for spades, which you don't have. 4) Partner may pass the "takeout" double, and if he does, your hand will be a disappointment. So, in final analysis, I will to along with the 4♦ bidders above. I a bit surprised no one commented on the choice of 1♦ opening bid.

luis Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Abstain.I open 4d this hand. For a zillion reasons. One of them is that I have 1/2 defensive trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 This is the sort of hand you can only play in your suit. I bid 5♦. Don't agree with 4♦ because that would tend to show a stronger and (perhaps) less distributional hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 4D is pretty clear to me here, but i think ill pass 4H because my diffence is not too bad, especilly if partner has the A of spade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikestar Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Abstain, but I'd be cowardly and open 3D at unfavorable. (i'd go for 5D at favorable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I'd open 4♦, so I won't have this problem. But in this case, if 3♥ is weak raise I just bid 4♦ and if it is limitraise I bid 5♦. Mike :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 bid 4♦, second suit is no use. You still have the opportunity to show ♣ at 5-level, and perhaps you can play 4♠ for some insane reason <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
