I passed as west, am I too conservative? Do you bid 2♥ with west hand? defense:lead: ♥ K x A x♠ x J K x♥ Q ♣ 3 T♥ J ... lose rest makes +2 , club here down 1 what should the ♥3 signal mean here?should west have figured out?

hanp Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 If you overcall 2H with the west hand, east will put you in game and you'd be -200 at least, worse than this. NS bid very badly by the way. I think the heart signal should be count. West knows that south doesn't hold 4 hearts so can try to hit the winning minor.... and would probably play a diamond for the same result. Maybe a really good pair could signal for clubs with their trump return or something, I don't think I'd get this right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 How about an obvious suit preference heart 3 at trick one? Club jack, won by east , then spade shift ...etc., til the spade promo. It is much easier to read suit pref when dummy has a singleton, than later on when count might be relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
