mich-b Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 [hv=pc=n&w=sak752ht4d7532ct3&d=n&v=b&b=13&a=p1dp1sp1np2sp2np]133|200[/hv] Obviously this would never happen playing IMPs , but this is BAM (or just assume MP).Maybe you would prefer to sign off in 2♦ rather than rebid 2♠ , but... this is BAM.Partner very seldom rebids 1NT with a singleton , but you guess this is what he did this time, and he has guessed 2♠ would not play well. So you probably haven't seen this sequence before , but what do you do now?Pass? 3♦? anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 BAM does not mean that you should throw all principles of common sense bidding out the window. I bid 3D now as 2NT won't make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Who is this partner? And will 3♦ finally end the auction? :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbradley62 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Maybe I play too many individual tournaments, but I expect partner to be 1444 with 15-16- HCP, so I pass at BAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I think 3♦ will usually do better than 2NT even if partner is 1444. But if partner seldoms bids 1NT with a singleton, he probably has a 1453 just short of a reverse. 3♦ will play quite well opposite that.

Fluffy Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'd take 2NT as some kind of game trial playing with myself so I thank mich that he points what 2NT is suposed to mean on his partnership. Partner could have ♦AKQ10x and 8/9 tricks run smothly home in no trumps, when maybe even 3♦ fails. So this is a matter of partnership style, playing with awm this would be a clear 3♦, with myself I'd pass, thinking about bidding 3NT. But with mich's partner who knows.

whereagles Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Opposite me, I'd expect like QxxAxxAJTxKxx Now 3♠. Opposite random pard, 3♦ is a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
