What is your auction for North and South from there?2. What contract do you want to be in? Do you have a way to get there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomSac Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'd probably bid 1D p p 1H p 1N p p p. No idea where I want to be, too late for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 1♦-P-P-1N-2♣-P-2♥-2N-3N Too high, but might make with W 3343. I want to be in 1N or 2N, I want to avoid the sequence above in case partner has Jx or xxx rather than Jxx in the diamond suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 1♥-1♠-1NT-2NT-3NT looks sensible to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukmoi Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 1♥-1NT-pass seems likely to me. When both partners have maximum cards for their bidding, pessimistic contracts are likely to be bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'd probably bid 1D p p 1H p 1N p p p. No idea where I want to be, too late for that!I have a worse auction :D (1♦) 1♠ 2♦ ;2NT-3♥;3NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchiu Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Playing with a lot of my regular partners, it would undoubtedly go 1di - p - p - 1hep - 2nt - p - 3ntall pass I probably want to be in 3nt south, but as REM put it, ....

Echognome Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 [hv=d=w&v=b&n=sat85hj2dj72ckqj4&w=sqj72hqdkt963ca86&e=sk3ht9753d854ct75&s=s964hak864daqc932]399|300|Scoring: BAM(1♦) - P - (P) - 1♥;(P) - 1NT - All Pass[/hv] We repeated the auction suggested by Justin. We both felt max for our actions, but thought the bidding was reasonable. Double dummy says the only making game is 3NT by south. I don't know how to get there or whether I want to be there single dummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 just upgrade those 12 to 13 and bid 2NT over 1♥ :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 O_o what's the urge to bid NT with ♦Jxx? you have 4 spades! Anyway, 3NT requires a wild ♥ guess to make while you can cash 3 heart tricks. Not the line you are likelly taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, 3NT requires a wild ♥ guess to make while you can cash 3 heart tricks. Not the line you are likelly taking. But isn't the sec queen your only chance of making three heart tricks? If you want to play low to the jack first you are an entry short, unless you get a diamond lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 yeah right, maybe its your only extra chance besides ♥3-3 and ♦4-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I would be very unhappy after balancing 1H to think anyone would jump to 2NT with Jxx in D. 1S seems a standout in comparison to 2N, even 2C will get more votes. 1N in the balancing seat is also not unreasonable. Should you choose 1N partner will surely raise to 2N and it then seems like we take a look at the colors and form of scoring before we make out last choice 3N or pass.

whereagles Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 O_o what's the urge to bid NT with ♦Jxx? you have 4 spades! doh, that's because pard would probably dbl with 5-4 majors or reopen 2♦ michaels :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
