(Both pairs playing 2/1) What are your thoughts and why? Is this a clear choice :unsure: or up for partnership discussion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 voted 'other' since 2D is insufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Partner made a takeout double, pass is for penalties, so 3♦. What are your thoughts and why? Well since you ask, the old forums allowed large text, colored text, etc too, I am wondering why are so many people are using it now!

ggwhiz Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Yup, mis-read the auction first time but pard asked us to pick a red wuit and I have one. 3 diamonds it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Partner made a takeout x. I have Ds so I bid Ds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 This is going to end badly for sure. Partner better have a mighty good reason to have stuck his oar in at his 3rd chance. Only question now is whether we bid 2NT to keep clubs in the picture or 3D to pick. If partner waited to double because he had only the red suits, doesn't much matter.

Fluffy Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 pass is to paly so take out to your best suit, 2NT is a distant option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 pass is to paly so take out to your best suit, 2NT is a distant option.imo this is up for agreement. With some I play that pass shows no preference, with some I play pass is a suggestion to play. With some I play both, depending on the level. In either case, though, 3d must be right.

skjaeran Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 3♦ is clear imo.Partner didn't double 1NT (t/o of ♠, so he's not prepared to play there. 2NT should show clubs and tolerance for one or both red suits here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 pass is bad, 3♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWP Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 2NT Partner bid your minor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 3♦ for sure. Passing is a suggestion to play, and I certainly hope partner can explain why he didn't bid the first two times. The only hand that comes to mind is something like xx Kxxx KQxxx Qx. It's only 50s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSGibson Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 3♦. I would want better clubs to suggest playing there with 2N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If partner waited to double because he had only the red suits, doesn't much matter.I don't think partner cares for clubs, or he would have doubled right after 1NT. 3♦ seems quite clear. I would want to have longer and stronger clubs to bid 2NT here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 FWIW, I think pass here would be penalty, showing a hand that would have passed partner's double, had RHO not rewinded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 This public poll thing is kind of cool. Hate the 'delete vote' option though - stand up and vote (or do not vote). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I am fairly new, so just curious: what is new on the public poll in this new forum, compared with the poll in old forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Both pairs playing 2/1) What are your thoughts and why? I was wondering why the hell the suit fonts are so small that I can't tell the difference between a ♠ and a ♣. They didn't even use different colors. Anyway after rethinking the bidding and correcting(in my mind) opener's 1♠ call to 1♣ I would call 3♣ leaving the opps to guess what to do at the 3 level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucky Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 hmmm i don't see where this is. Is this poll not public?It certainly isn't obvious, but it's there, next to each choice in the poll. For example:3D (best of the unbid suits) (30 votes [75.00%] - View) The word "View" is clickable, although it looks gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
