Normal false preference auction?

[jonottawa]

Here's a simple one that may not be all that interesting:

 

Favorable, IMPs, 4th seat

 

♠T9 ♥52 ♦AQ87652 ♣J7

 

P - 1♠ - 2♣ - P

P - 2♥ - 3♣ - 3♦

P - 3♥ - P - ?

3S, partner could easily be 6-5. This isn't a false preference it's a real preference..

[jjbrr]

yup

3S, partner could easily be 6-5. This isn't a false preference it's a real preference..

at a minimum or even possibly 66 to be bidding over 3♦

3S. But I would have had to take this pref at a higher level than three. Partner would probably have bid 4H, not 3 after my neg double :D

Hmmm, looks to be unanimous.

 

What does 2♥ show here in your 2/1 methods? Can it be 5=4=2=2 min? Can it be 5=4=1=3 min? Does it promise/deny extras?

 

I thought 2♥ strongly suggested a 5-bagger with a minimum hand. I thought 3♦ strongly suggested a suit that could play opposite a singleton. I felt reluctant to overrule partner who had already shown a 5th ♥, who had heard my complete lack of interest in playing in a major, and who had declined to play in my 'play opposite singleton' suit. Guess I over/under-thought the hand.
