MarkDean Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I will not try for game. Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I don't see a lot of risk vs reward at imps in bidding 3♦ forcing as we play super disciplined pre-empts in 2nd seat but 1st seat on these colours is a close second. If pard can bid 3♥ or ♠ on Q 3rd, I'm in for a risky 3nt. I'll pass if 4♣ if that is all they can do and expect to make it. If they raise diamonds, I'm probably a favorite for 3nt but will have to struggle in 5♦ instead, sigh. Meanwhile, x, xx, Qxxx, AQTxxx gets you to slam if pard splinters over 3♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 3NT has no reasonable chance - either partner has almost-solid clubs but no entry, or an entry but a big enough hole in clubs that I need two. If you gave me another king I would raise to 5C, and with another queen seriously consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 3NT won't work, the only game that has a chance is 5♣. I think I'd just pass since 5♣ is a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich-b Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Pass , and hopefully do this in tempo - who knows , you might hear a balancing call from LHO.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Pass. If this were a 2nd seat vulnerable vs notvul 3C, I might have something to think about bu probably still Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 3♦ for me. I hope it's natural. I hope partner won't automatically signoff with something like AKJTxxx and out. I am bidding 5♣ after positive response from him and 5♦ if he shows ♦ supp.I think passing is reasonable but game will make just too often opposite vulnerable preempts I am used to.

Fluffy Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Pass , and hopefully do this in tempo - who knows , you might hear a balancing call from LHO.. yeah, a balancing double passed around to you, not that it would make me very happy :) but the opponents won't like dummy at least.

Phil Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Even ♣KQJTxxx may not be enough for 5♣. Would you condemn pard for opening 3♣ on any seven bagger headed by 2 of the top 3 at these colors? I wouldn't. So I pass - in Tempo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you condemn pard for opening 3♣ on any seven bagger headed by 2 of the top 3 at these colors? I wouldn't. No but he will also open x xx Qxx AQJxxxx for example (I think).Opposite KQJTxxx and out I want to be in game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vuroth Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'd probably have bid 5♣, but I see the point people are making. Worth a shot if you have 1 club, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
