rogerclee Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I think a problem with pass is that they will usually lead a trump, and on this hand that will be really good for them. Unless partner has both minor aces, we don't get any ruffs in our hand, and partner is left with a mess, even if he has 5 clubs, but especially if he has only 4. However if we bid 2S, they will often go with a heart lead, which should be good for us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Pass. Good luck partner. I agree that 2♠ will probably be a better part score than 2♣ but I prefer pass because it ends the auction (well if it doesn't I am happy obviously).

Phil Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 2♠. I like 2♦ slightly more than pass, but don't care for either of them. Please play reverse flannery here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'll bid 2♦ and hope partner has something extra to bid 2M. One of the reasons to play toys B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
