Partner has been playing bridge for a little less than a year and doesn't have a good understanding of reverses yet. The opponents are intermediate. Your call?

P_Marlowe Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 6C. Given you description, 3D is natural GF, and certainly not a splinter.But whatever - 6C basically covers all bases, as long as p opens 1Dwith 4-4 in the minors. With kind regardsMarlowe PS: Was not sure, if the question was directed at BI audience so I hadwriitten it as hidden text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make your sane call for what the auction shows 3♥ and be ready to pass 3NT :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRW Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Meh. Do we trust p to understand and respond sensibly to something like 3♥? If so, I plump for that option and postpone my decision. If p doesn't understand and respond sensibly to things like 3♥, but we think that his/her declarer play is not too bad, then maybe punt 6♣. Otherwise 3NT seems the best hope for a reasonable score. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjbrr Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I'm happy getting to my 9-trick game opposite a partner who doesn't understand reverses. I doubt we'll have a legit auction to slam even if it's making. I also like my chances of making 9 tricks in my 9-trick game better than I like partner's.

jdonn Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 When I have seen people who don't understand reverses make the jump reverse they usually have been making a natural game forcing bid. So I'll punt 6♣ and hope that if this was somehow a mini-splinter partner returns to spades and it makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
