nigel_k Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Good question and I am going to pass. I can see more good things happening if I pass than if I bid. Fluffy's 2♦ is ok but I won't know what to do on the next round either. Vul I would bid 2♦ I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike777 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 abstain I would have opened 1h. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfa1010 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Pass. With this misfit the primary concern is to escape the hand with a plus score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 pass is your friend. game is not likely - we don't see a fit and 3NT is impossible with this heart holding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I cant honestly say I would have opened, but my life would be easier now if I had. Pass with a nice 7HCP, and be happy if anybody else bids again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtvesuvius Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Pass... Yuck, not much chance of a game, and 2♣ looks to maybe be our top spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manudude03 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 OK, part 2 guys: If you bid 2♦, the auction continues: P-1H-2C-P2D-P-2H-P?? If you pass, the auction goes: P-1H-2C-PP-2D-P-2S?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I will continue to think inside the box and pass again. I don't know they will make very often here but this auction sounds fishy and who knows who has what. I'm not doubling white at imps a 7-8 card fit when trumps split, I've already decided previously that we don't have game. wtf partner has a game force if we bid 2♦ but he has nothing if we pass?!

P_Marlowe Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi, 2NT. I am not going to pass, although this may very well be best by fair margin,I would go with 2NT, ..., I am not convinced. Maybe 3C, or Pass. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 And what do you do when partner raises to 3NT? What hand type are you playing partner for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 2♦, on grounds that our long hearts make it likely pard is 4126/2146/3136. Yes, I'm feeling lucky this morning lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcD Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Pass over 2♣ at this vul (would consider bidding if vulnerable) nless partner is an al roth's disciple. Over 2♠ choice is between a chicken pass or a dangerous DBL (values implying club misfit). I think DBL is the winning long term bid unless we agreed with partner that 2♣ can be quite shaded.

JLOGIC Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Really easy pass of 2C at any vul. What game are you guys trying to get to? 3N with seven fifth of hearts after they open 1H is a long way off, even if we have a heart stopper somehow (which is unlikely because we have at least 10 combined with LHO), we don't have a source of tricks. This could easily be a hand where we have 26 HCP and no game...and that's if partner has a near max 2C overcall. Trying to get to an 11 trick game also seems ridiculous.

JLOGIC Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I also pass 2S. No chance I'm going to double them at imps with Kxx, and obviously I don't want to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Part 2: since I bid, over 2♥ I'd try 2NT now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 whereagles I know that stoppers are completely useless, but what suit do you think they will lead here? :( how will the play go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well, I know you're right but what can I bid? I've already lied in a card with 2♦. Ain't gonna lie a second time by bidding spades with 3 only B) I guess you could say I should have passed 2♣ but I didn't. But there's one thing going for the 2NT bid: unless LHO has ♥AKQJT (with which he could have bid 2♥), it's likely there's some sort of blockage in the heart suit.

mfa1010 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Pass again over 2♠. Penalty doubling would be very random. But there's one thing going for the 2NT bid: unless LHO has ♥AKQJT (with which he could have bid 2♥), it's likely there's some sort of blockage in the heart suit.The layout could be:Partner Ax, 98, xxxx, AKQJTNorth ♥HHHH6 and we have 3NT making thanks to ♥7.That would be fun, but actually playing for it pretty crazy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 partner seems to be 3136, I am starting to regret bidding 2♦ but can't give up now so I just bid 3♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
