Siegmund Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I guess I bid 2C, thanks to the ace-and-spacey high cards and the spade shortness. But I have no complaint with anybody who passes it, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's the better action. Not vul pass would have more going for it.

pooltuna Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 [hv=d=w&v=e&s=sq8ha9542dk7ca742]133|100|Pass - 1♥1NT - ?[/hv]Opps silent. while partner may have only none, 1, 2, or 3 ♣ he can also have 4,5, 6 or 7. he could also hold a 6 card red suit so bid on ....2♣ for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Seems like a playable contract, so pass. 2♣ is ok, but if pard goes back to hearts on xx♥, it might not be that hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Both are fine, in MP I'd probably pass and hope to play it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 They have a sure spade fit, so I am looking for my fit too and try 2 ♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo81 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 My experience is that 1NT is not a great contract in this auction even when opener has no viable alternative to passing. 2♣ here is a no brainer, it could even be 3-4 tricks better than 1NT.

Agree. If partner is precisely 3253 we have a better spot less than half the time, otherwise we have a better spot much more than half the time.

Rossoneri Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Put me down for 2♣ as well. Agree that in MPs it might be tempting to take my chances in 1N... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 2♣, don't find it a problem at all. Partner usually has less than 4♠ and 0-2♥ so I fancy myself in a 2m contract which should play heaps better than 1NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
