(Opponents are playing 2D as forcing Stayman and 2NT as minors.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkDean Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I will try the old standby: bidding my long suit at the cheapest level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 3S does not seem like an unreasonable bid, but I'd just bid 2S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 How about 2D, then rebid 2S/3S/4S cheaply. This tells partner D-help is wanted; spades can stand nearly alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it will tell him that you have a spades, but longer diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohitz Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Yes, 2♠ is certainly the normal bid here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffford76 Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 If you bid 2S the auction continues 3H on your left and 4H on your right. Are you done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dake50 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 cherdanno, Why am 1 bidding 2D then 2S/3S/4S? Because I like 5D over 4S? Foolish! I stand by 2D then show spades cheaply shows stand alone spades with D-help needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand by 2D then show spades cheaply shows stand alone spades with D-help needed. If you have this highly unusual agreement, yes. Otherwise it shows ♦'s (longest) and ♠'s. 2♠ looks normal.

jeffford76 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Thanks all. This was from a friendly match a few nights ago. At my table these were the opponent's cards, and they let us play and make 4H (cold on a spade lead). At the other table this hand bid an immediate 4S and made 4SX. My friends at the other table were complaining vociferously about the 4S bid, and I was having trouble judging lucky vs. good since it worked.

P_Marlowe Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 2S, I bid what I have, and there is no need to go crazy. If given the chance, I would bid 3D, to show both of my suits. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
