mr1303 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I blame East. If he didn't have enough for 3S the first time (fair enough) he certainly did the second time, and then West has an auto raise to 4S. East 110 % Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 IMO after east chooses pass over 3♠ (a not unreasonable choice) he has to act over his partner's 3♥call with either 3♠ or 4♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbradley62 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Of course, 4♠ can go minus... but East should certainly bid and get you there... Edited September 10, 2010 by Bbradley62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flameous Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Blame the players in other tables for not easily setting 4S. Still, you should be there ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Actually the whole auction is odd. Sth should raise to 4C. Now it gets interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 4C automatic as far as I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeegan Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 ;) I tend to agree with most of the comments. A lift to 4♣ is automatic even sitting opposite a desperado. I might well have bid 5♣ depending on ................ Ten trumps (maybe) in ♣ and a stiff ♠ and a likely stiff ♥ in pard's hand make for a powerful combined playing holding. See, LOTT or the Lawrence-Witgren alternative for a proper analytical framework. Only the ♥ king is bad. East probably ought to pass the 3♣ preempt, but once west doubles or bids 3♥ a raise to game is clear to my way of thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I blame East completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamegumb Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I remember this hand. Partner opened a natural 2♣; over 2♠ I raised to 3♣; partner eventually carried on to 5♣ over 4♠. We weren't doubled and somehow were allowed to make it. In the auction given, yes I think East could do more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 For those who say that 4♠ should be down and that NS lousy defense is to blame, please explain to me how 4♠ is going down (except on an opening heart lead from South). I don't see how leading a heart is so obvious against 4♠ by East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 East. Pard's bidding some of your cards, but not this much of a fine passed hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
