jdonn Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 3♦, what's the alternative? 3NT is a pretty awful alternative I would say. Just one stopper, can't hold up, main suit far from being set up, void... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomSac Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 4D would be a good value bid but "everyone" plays leaping michaels now. I'd probably just bid 5D, this hand seems way too strong of a player for 3D, but obv it's tough to evaluate since opposite a stiff D our hand is much worse.

whereagles Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Not playing ELC it's an easy 3♦ (5 is putting the eggs all in one basket, something that can go very wrong over a preempt). Playing ELC I might just trot out a double and hope for the best :D After all, with a bit of luck it will only take pard to have ♥Qxxx to make game and he's likely to bid hearts before spades with a 44.

CSGibson Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 3 diamonds. My guess is this will not end the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomSac Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 3 diamonds. My guess is this will not end the auction. Why? RHO preempted our Kx, LHO is not going to bid with a weak hand and spades, and neither is partner. Seems like there is a significant chance of this ending the auction.

RHO preempted our Kx, LHO is not going to bid with a weak hand and spades, and neither is partner. Seems like there is a significant chance of this ending the auction. It very well could. I'm looking at 11 missing black cards, though, and maybe 17 missing HCP (give or take). 3 diamonds might end the auction if we don't have a diamond fit, in which case I'll be in the right spot, or if partner doesn't have much in the way of HCP, in which case righty might be tempted to act. Anyway, my guess might turn out wrong, but my feeling is that 3 diamonds will not end a lot of these auctions and if it does then we're likely to be in a decent spot.
