jjbrr Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Dbl just shows extras. I'll bid 2♠ to show that I don't have extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Dbl just shows extras. I'll bid 2♠ to show that I don't have extras. And usually 3 spades. I would say 3442 or 3352 is usual for this auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegill Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Agree - partner has a good hand with usually exactly 3 spades. This is an easy 2♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 partner has 3 spades in a goodish hand but he would bid this way with 18-19 balanced as well. either way 2S should do well and 2C may not go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I think this is a 2 spade call. Partner's showing a big balanced hand without 4 spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Three-card spade support is an agreement, IMO, that most people have sunk in concrete, if they have discussed it at all --and common sense, if they haven't. 2♠ is easy --a strong desire for partner to stop bidding.

kgr Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 [hv=d=w&v=e&s=sxxxxxhxxdqxxcqxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] IMPs, 8 board match, mediocre, if not poor opps and good team mates: LHO deals and opens: (1♣) - X - (P) - 1♠ - (2♣) - X - (P): 1) What do you think pard has?2) What's your call? I misread the auction as:(1♣)-DBL-(1♠)-Pass(2♣)-DBL-(Pass)-??And voted 2♦...-Would you agree with 1st pass or is this enough to DBL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszeszycki Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 P is showing extras and would like to continue bidding. Lets face it i have DRECK and if p has only 3 spades (as i strongly suspect) we will have almost NO entries and will be praying big time for 32 spade break:) bid 2s and be thankful we have 5 of them. A more interesting quandary would appear if our hand were xxxx xx Qxx Qxxx where p having 5 diamonds is a very real possibilty (but thats another conversation) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Partner should hold a good hand that wants to compete further opposite my 0 to 7 count. I do not quite understand why 2D would be a choice, and if partner thinks this is now penalty we will need to have a talk, (I do not see why that option is even in here).

peachy Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Second Dbl being penalty is completely impossible. Iy shows extras and denies 4-card spades, also denies overstrength NT with club stopper. Lucky for advancer that he has 5-card suit, things could have been much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 -Would you agree with 1st pass or is this enough to DBL? with nothing bid nothing... if you can :), not close to double IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Partner's showing a big balanced hand without 4 spades.Agree. Three-card spade support is an agreement, IMO, that most people have sunk in concrete, if they have discussed it at all --and common sense, if they haven't.Disagree.
