the hog Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Maybe "yes"; only you know. I would have bid 3C and followed with 3S over partner's 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanoi5 Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 If I didn't know you're in an island away from civilization I'd say you were at that table. I bid 3♣ and partner bid 3♦, but I chickened out and passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdanno Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Partner's sequence does not exist. KxxKxKQ9xxAKT What is he supposed to bid with that hand ? He can overcall 1NT. Having bid 1♦, bidding 2NT with this over 2♣ is suicidal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Partner had: KTxQxAQTxxxAK I think 2NT wasn't bad. 3♠ would have been a better contract though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I misread the auction I somehow thought partner opened the bidding.I agree that his bidding is strange. Probably should promise 6 diamonds AKQ and ♣ stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Partner's sequence does not exist. I think he can have 8 tricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Partner's sequence does not exist. KxxKxKQ9xxAKT What is he supposed to bid with that hand ?1NT, or X then 1NT are his options, not 1♦. Partner had: KTxQxAQTxxxAK I think 2NT wasn't bad. 3♠ would have been a better contract though. 2NT should be a rare bid. We want to have sure tricks so that the wheels don't fall off completely when partner is bust, which is a live possibility. I think the diamonds are too tenuous. We want to be able to run them without being dependent on catching a fitting honour. I think your partner should either double 1♣ and then bid diamonds.Or bid 1♦ and then double 2♣. The model distribution for that is 3361 since 4351/3451 doubles 1♣. He would then have an easy time (pass) after 2♦ or 2♠, while 2♥ would give him a choice of trying 2NT or just passing 2♥. I think the latter would be the percentage action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
