gwnn Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 8xxxxxxAKQJxx 2♦ (natural weak 2) opened by RHO, love all, matchpoints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Pass. 2♠ is my 2nd choice. I am not really sure whats good for us and there is still partner at the table. If hand belongs to us i am hoping we can still recover from my pass. I know we want ♣ lead if LHO blasts 3 NT, but we dunno that yet and i wont bid a genius 3 level just to show lead over a weak 2. If it comes back to me as 3♦ from my left, DBL and correct 3♥ to 3♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellSpyder Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Anyone else amused to see the title of this thread appearing in the forum listing immediately after one on "who is the best declarer in the world?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I would like to say it was deliberate but it was most likely only my subconscious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I will bid 2♠, I use to pass this hands and it doesn't work very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 2♠. In the style I'm accustomed to, there's a huge onus on the person short in the preempt suit to get our side in the auction, so I've got a little too much to pass.

lexlogan Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'll bite. 2S. Partner probably won't be on lead anyway, or perhaps I can switch to clubs in time. But the hand more likely belongs to us in spades, and any honors partner has are apt to be over LHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurpoa Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 8xxxxxxAKQJxx 2♦ (natural weak 2) opened by RHO, love all, matchpoints Pass: what is wrong with that !If I bid on this hand, what should I do on a stonger hand: like 5♠ from the king.No, in the intrest of the partnership: pass. I trust partner to come up with something....if he has some values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 2♠, it seems safer for me to do this than for partner to find a bid when he has some diamond length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'd pass, meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 results hidden here:2♦ opener was gwnn. your central hand opponent has AKQ xxxx KJxx xx. You will probably go down in 4♠ but 2♦ made at this table (very careful defence beats it for a good score). results: +420 100%+170 83%-50 33%-90 0% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'd have overcalled 2♠, I have shortness, and am not happy with defending 2♦. I doubt I'll be thrilled with any of the results, but I think it's the least of evils. I'm a big believer in the hand with shortness acting.

the hog Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 This is a very clear pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
