Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 A♣ and a ♣ seems too obvious to possibly be right... If partner is leading from 9x or 9xx tell partner not to do that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I don't see any reason not to play club club, and there are certainly many layouts where it is necessary to beat the hand. It definitely seems like our most likely way to beat them anyway. By the way I definitely would not pass over 2D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on defense and bidding but I'll one-up you, I would definitely not pass in 3rd seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even playing a style where light 3rd seat openers are not expected I agree it is definitely wrong to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 ♣A then return ♣8. Also agree on opening in 3rd seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 These colours at imps! Most definitely a bidding problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonottawa Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Agree that there is more for a new player to learn here about the (mis)bidding than the defense. I'm sure you could construct a hand where you have to duck this but so what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
