inquiry Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I guess I need to know. What was 2♠? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I assume 2S was weak? This is a 100% pass for me and I don't even need to think hard about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'd have opened 2♥, and would have an easy 3♣ bid over 2♠-P-P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'd have opened 2♥. I agree with that part as it puts partner in control. If they overcall 2♠ and pard can't make a bid or penalty double, I'm passing. There is no right bid over the given auction as partner could have anything.

Mbodell Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 The reason for my posting was mostly to poll on logical alternatives. The North player tanked for a fair length of time and then the South player found 3♥ and they ended up in 4♥ making 5. At least this is how it was described at Judy Kay-Wolff's blog.

mtvesuvius Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 This should be a clear pass - If partner couldn't take a call, I don't want anything to do with this hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I would bid 3♥. RHO could not open and LHO preempts. Partner has some values, so I am not going to pass. The alternative would be 2NT, converting 3♦ to 3♥. It is possible that my 3♥ call will work out badly (such as when both opps have maximum values for their actions and partner has a misfitting hand), but that's the way it goes.

the hog Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I read the blog. It is really very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 "Since Broadway was a prairie." Huh. Not sure which Broadway she's on about, but the one I know is in New York City, and was never a prairie. Forest, maybe. Yes, some players need to be educated about their ethical obligations. But going berserk and screaming about it does not seem to me a useful way to proceed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bftboy Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Maybe I am converting +100 to a minus by bidding, but I doubt it. P clearly has some values, and some in my seat would have opened 2 ♥ already. So I may be catching up a bit. I don't have the shape for a dbl, and no defense, so I'd bid 2nt and convert 3♦ to ♥.

babalu1997 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Folks, she was just having a bad hair day. I remember once losing a score because my partner "hesitated", or so said the opps. What likely happened was:we were playing onlinemy partner would not remeber lebensohl if he heard a voice from the burning bushthing goes 1nt-3sapdes andhe was likely putzing around looking for his lebensohl notei was mad, but i was mad with him.

Siegmund Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Sorta makes me wish I played 2N as Two Places in this auction, but I don't usually have that agreement available. Endplayed into pass. If I have to express an opinion about a 3H bid I would rank it fourth, behind pass, double, and 2N (even unusual hoping partner understands a correction of 3D to 3H), though.

gordontd Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yes, some players need to be educated about their ethical obligations. But going berserk and screaming about it does not seem to me a useful way to proceed.Especially since she seems to have such a poor appreciation of the way the laws work and of the director's role.
