kayin801 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 [hv=d=n&v=e&s=sjxhxdq10xxxcq10xxx]133|100|Scoring: MP1♣-1♥-X-P2♣-P-? 1♣: 16+ artX: Usually 5-7, but could be GF if no better bid2♣: nat 5+ suit, f1rd[/hv] Go high or go low? 3C would be NF, 3H would be a splinter, 4C was undiscussed but is presumably better than 3C. If it makes any difference, the 1C bidder might bid a slightly offshape NT here with heart stoppers, so you can presume they are unbalanced or stopperless. It's extremely rare that X isn't 5-7 at this low a level unless responder is perfect t/o shape. Edit: quick statement clarification in description. Also, this is from an outside source, in case it seems familiar, but I'm interested in what other precision pairs would do in this situation.

dake50 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 5-fit for partner's C. 5x diamonds side when partner didn't express S-interest. A minor rebid, here 2C, may be much stronger but going slow with minor suit(s). I have H-single to allay H-losers fear and can show that immediately. 3H. Go minimum from now on.

mgoetze Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 So what would 3♦ show? A fit jump would be nice to have... BTW, doesn't "forcing 1 round" usually mean that opener promises another bid? If so, 3♣ cannot be non-forcing. If I don't have a fit jump available I'll take the splinter...

Free Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'll splinter, partner probably has length ♥ (opps bid only 1♥ and didn't support) so it's important that he can evaluate his hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'd splinter if partner won't take me as the exceptional GF hand by doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 hmm.. 4♣ seems just about right, unless there's a risk pard takes this as some GF variant, in which case 5♣ is more appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I bid what I think we can make. 5♣. (i.e. it maybe a 3 or 5 hand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 5♣ for me -- the lack of controls makes me squeamish about the tempting 3♥. Unless LHO withheld significant ♥ support, it seems like pard has 4+♥ and will need a few ♥ ruffs in dummy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
