MrAce Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I'd definetely pass, especially with minors being in the wrong order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mich-b Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I would try 2NT (and a XX later if necessary) in either IMPs or MP.I think our prospects in 2♠X are poor and we are heading for a big loss unless I get lucky, and partner has some fit for a minor. Even if partner's overcall is very normal , other pairs may not have a penalty double available, so I think playing in 2♠X is accepting the disaster.One further consideration : pd is not likely to have ♥ length , since he did not use a "majors" bid , and although he could bid 2♠ with 6-4 , there is still hope he has a few minor suit cards.

gwnn Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 2NT for me. I tend to run more often than it's perhaps considered normal, but I think it pays off more often than it would appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Pull. If 2NT can cause a mix up, then 3♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'd bid if we were white, but red I think I'll pass. I don't think running is strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm not usually a runner in these situations but I would try 2NT here. The tens and nines made me do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
