Fluffy Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 ♠10xx♥QJ98xxx♦x♣xx MPs, nobody vul (pass)-1NT-(pass)-??? On our system a 2♦ bid forces 2♥ from partner 100% of the time, if this would change your answer please comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotlight7 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi: Not many points, but eight losers. Transfer to 2H which is unlikely to end the auction. Regards, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 4♦ for me, mostly because it helps keep ops quiet. True there are eight losers so I think 4♥ is not a favorite, but it will make sometimes. Plus we are NV, and no way they can find a double, so what's the worst that can happen?

pooltuna Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 4♦ for me, mostly because it helps keep ops quiet.

This seems like a reasonable choice to me and probably what I would do IRL (And Fluffy did what on the Karpet!!? :blink: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pict Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Transfer and pass. I would compete to 3H, but not volunteer. Standard policy is to play for plus scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I would invite, which I'm sure is wrong on a strictly double dummy basis but we will very often get the wrong lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomSac Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 They are both passed hands so far so I'm not as concerned with them coming in...if LHO was not a passed hand I'd consider strongly consider texas as a two way shot to shut them out effectively and maybe it makes. I dunno I'm still really concerned if I transfer that LHO will come in and we'll have to save in 4H over their partscore. But it seems dumb to texas and go down when they've just passed. Guess I would transfer and bid 3H, again inviting is effective as a preempt (surely LHO will balance at least?), and I'm more likely to go plus as well (if partner passes an invite, game probably sucks). I found this hand to be quite interesting esp cuz it's w/w MP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 today partner had a monster. ♠Jx♥Axx♦AJxx♣AQxx 4♠ X made at a couple of tables when they didn't find the diamond ruff, LHO had ♠AQxxx♥K♦1098x♣108x I saw my LHO hesitating over my 2♦ bid, and passed 2♥ to see if he reopened and I could gather a free raise form partner to raise to 4. Alas, he passed this time and +170 was a poor score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
