Poky Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 MPThey vul [corrected] ♠76♥KT3♦K9♣KJT953 1NT - Pass - 2♦ - 2♠3♥ - Pass - Pass - 3♠Pass - ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Pass without qualm. However, I want to lodge a complaint, since this is MP, I would have doubled 3♥ last round. Partner could then pass (to play), bid 3♠ (to play) or leap to 4♠. I must have been in the water closet and had the caddy bidding for me on the last round of bidding. At imps I would bid 4♠ and not double 3♥.... they are two different forms of the same game. "-) Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 4♠ Partner is not offering an easy -200 at Matchpoints so he has a decent hand. 3NT could easily be better if partner has a solid spade suit but it could be disasterous if partner's spades are a 1-loser suit. He will not always know to pull to 4♠ so I will not give him that dilemma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 No doubt: 4♠. P bids ♠ twice! If he had a weak hand, I expect him to bid 3♠ immediatly, to put pressure on opener. By repeating the suit, he has some extra strength, and my cowboys should help him a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 4S. Heart king is junk, but pard rates to have a minor suit ace, which will fit any of my holdings very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This puts a different perspective on things. 4♠ is still possible but pass is more reasonable now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 4♠.But I would have X 3H first, but now that I didn't and pd bids twice, and I have 3 kings behind 1 NT opener. I just have to bid game. Mike :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
