Jlall Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Was going to say 1N was the worst bid ever, but passing 2D is even worse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Was N drunk or something? IMO, the hand warrants at least a courtesy raise even when playing a strong ♣ system with light openings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Going with what has to be a majority here.. South is blameless, north earned the blame on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Was going to say 1N was the worst bid ever, but passing 2D is even worse! 1NT is the next worst bid ever? :D for me the ♥ suit is unbiddable I would have bid 1NT over 1♦ and 3♦ over an expected 2♦ continuation.

jdonn Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 North lost his chance for a bluhmer! In fact I don't think it's unrealstic for a very good pair to even find the slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 North lost his chance for a bluhmer! In fact I don't think it's unrealstic for a very good pair to even find the slam. It only happened because of an earlier misbid so it shouldn't count :D 1D 1H1S 3D5D seems like a likely auction to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I don't know if 1NT is in the top ten worst bids of all time, but it does reek of matchpointitis. The pass of 2♦, however, was truly bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 North lost his chance for a bluhmer! In fact I don't think it's unrealstic for a very good pair to even find the slam. It only happened because of an earlier misbid so it shouldn't count :P 1D 1H1S 3D5D seems like a likely auction to me. I assume the "misbid" was 1H, but It serves as a nice stall here, and that is why I like it. Strange how Knee-jerk systemic responses often make an auction easy. Same auction as Justin. Oops, just found out what a Bluhmer is, so the "misbid" must refer to 1NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 As others have said, 100% to North and passing 2♦ is simply terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
