gwnn Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 KQxxxxQJ8xxQx you pass at unfav 2nd seat imps and it goes p-p-1♦-xp-??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetb Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 It seems like your choices are either 1♠ or 1NT. I prefer 1NT, because you have ♦ stopped, are in the 8-10 HCP range, and are not denying a 4 card major. Anyone who says 2♠ deserve to be in 4♠ down 1 or 2, as the diamond values are worthless.

the hog Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 2S bid and this is not close. I could have a zero count for 1S. I am not passing 1D either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Pass. Second choice is 2♠, which is clearly better than either 1♠ or 1NT as a passed hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 2♠ for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 2s fine, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 2S. Slight overbid but I still bid 2S. The diamond honors might not be working in a spade contract and shortness in both hearts and clubs might be a problem in a NT contract. Pass is out of the question.

jdonn Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 2♠ seems normal. I could maybe live with 1NT which at least shows some values. 1♠ is too pessimistic and pass is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 2♠ as the normal bid, or a ridiculous pass if I need some "action". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinidad Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 It seems like your choices are either 1♠ or 1NT.

Anyone who says 2♠ deserve to be in 4♠ down 1 or 2, as the diamond values are worthless.Given that: KQxxxx8xxxxQx would be good enough to bid 2♠, the wasted values in diamonds on the actual hand are not worrying me.

Fluffy Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'd bid 2♠, but cerainly 1NT is reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 2♠ 100, 1N 80, P 50, 2♦ 30, 1♠ 10....my personal rankings. We can sometimes get back to notrump after we bid spades..but we will almost never get back to spades if we bid notrump. As to hand valuation, it is silly to argue that our diamonds are wasted in spades....I once knew a partner who doubled 1♦ holding a diamond honour, and unless I am playing against David Berkowitz, who hates leading AK, that may be the lead if I declare spades.

aguahombre Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 In fact, if pard makes another call after my 2S, he will see 3NT from his CHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Finally an appropriate post for action ratings. 2♠ 1001NT 601♠ or 2NT 20other 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowerline Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 2♦ cue (I prefer to have a 5crd suit for 2♠) after 2♥ I rebid 2NT (implying a 4crd ♠ suit), giving partner a choice between pass, 3♠, 3NT or 4♠ Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
