gwnn Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 2N always :) keep it real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 2N, good suits, good quality, good hand, good shape. Need I say more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 2N, not even close. It's even better with diamonds longer because, if you decide to move over partner's 3♣ response, you can so with a 3♦ bid, showing extra length there with extras, and partner can still pass you at the 3 level.

gszeszycki Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 2N yay for once I have a bid that accurately describes my hand:)))))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 A poser.What more to start 4N as UnuNT?What more to start 2D, then rebid 3C,4C,5C,6C cheaply?After 2N and 3m, is this 5m or keys then 5m,6m?Jump 4S next as exc-ask? Are you showing S-void or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I am thinking about 4NT directly, its a slight overbid, but LHO has a huge fit and will want to show it probably. That would be a swingy bid, so only to be made agaisnt stronger opponents than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayin801 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Our defense is too good for 4NT and quite often 4M for them and 5m for us will both be down, so 2NT and hopefully the opportunity to make a move later. I think 4NT should be reserved for more preemptive hands than this, this is way too good, even with partner already passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think 4NT needs to be at least 6-6 (OK, usually 6-6) and more certainly about the level. This hand doesn't know how high to bid - if partner simply bids 3m, I will make a game try, not drive game, because it's not clear to me what the right level is. If the opponents bid to 4S with partner passing, I double, which shows a hand that wants to bid again but has spare defence. Two aces are certainly bonus defence.I don't see the point of overcalling 2D. There;s no law that says 2NT has to show exactly 5-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be going down in 4 something, no sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very close as to whether I'd show it as good or in between (by overcalling in ♦), if I had 12 potentially working points and a 652 I'd show it as good, but I only have 11 albeit with good intermediates. If you twist my arm I probably bid 2N and then bid again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not going to assume they're easily goaded unless specifically told ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
