Bbradley62 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 If partner has a rockcrusher flat hand, then either:a) he can make 3NT with no help from me, in which case he should have bid it since he knows I don't have anything, orb) he cannot make 3NT on his own, in which case I'll be happy with +300. Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Either RHO or CHO is insane. Assuming partner has his bid, I pass. The most likely holding for partner is a big balanced hand. I have much more defense than I promised with my 2♦ bid (in other words, I have some defense). Pard heard my 2♦ bid and doubled 2♠, which is not for takeout. Why would I bid over 2♠x? If you bid over 2♠x, it is an insult to partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I don't understand why pard has to be flat. How about a rock crushing 1-4-3-5? Whatever partner holds, I don't have to be this weak and don't have to have 5 diamonds. So, I guess I will try to show that by bidding the suit again.

pooltuna Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Q1)his hand is so good only X can express itQ2)see Q1 plus he may want you to show a ♠ stopper now if you have oneQ3)partner has shown you the rock of Gibraltar (well the back side of it)just call 3♦ to show your near Yarborough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate22 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Well for once i did Justice to my partner by Passing,it took a few seconds,because i asked my self the questions,for those that bid 3d,it stampedes partner to the wrong decision---looking at the traveller most contracts of 3n/t and 5 diamonds x all went down.Partners hand indeed a rock crusher. {shdc} K5--AK32--AK7--AK62 2sp went 3 off=500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 congrats on your plus 500. It would have beat all the pairs who trusted partner's 3D bid and passed for a partial. Or gotten the same top as plus 110 or 130 (or even minus 100), if no other South could resist bidding game after 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted too quickly and without thinking.This is still an obvious 3D bid now, and definitely not a pass. In the real world it would not surprise me in the least to find 2S making. Cannot opener haveAQJxxxx xx xx AK That still leaves partner with his bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
