babalu1997 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 3 clubs, good lead direction if in fact partner has 5 spades and some values hr will speak if he does not have 5 spades, you will get a nasty trump split, 4-1 count your blessings one by one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Pass. Not a good enough hand to bid 3♣, and no other action is reasonable. Partner knows that I will not act in direct seat over a preempt without a very good hand, and he will balance freely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 3 clubs, good lead direction I smiled. But then, again, I sometimes need to remind myself what to lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 3♣. No comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 3♣, would not have thought twice about it if it wasn't posed as a problem :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiddity Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 3♣ seems dangerous to me, with little upside opposite a passed hand. RHO will not be joking in 2nd seat; LHO is unpassed and has a penalty double available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 3♣ for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 3♣, won't always work, but it pays to get in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 pass partner is already a passed hand so probability for a missed game is fairly low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 3C, game is still possible and I have a very good 5 card suit so I don't like passing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 This was the same hand posted on another problem. 3C has dangers, but I would bid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I would bid 3♣, but it would be hard to say that I'm a "real expert" with a straight face. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThymePuns Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 3♣ isn't safe but I'm going to bid it anyway. I'll bid it very confidently so that they don't double me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurpoa Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 IMPs, noone vulnerable, partner passes, RHO opens a weak 2♦.[hv=pc=n&s=saj64h96d84cakjt5&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=p2d]133|200[/hv] 3♣. Pass is almost always a loosing option here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Does it change anyone's mind if you are playing a strong club system with very light openers, so partner's white pass denies any hand with 10+ points, as well as any shapely hand with a good 9 or great 8 count? That was true in the OP on the other thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I doubt it. The 3♣ bidders are pretty much the same ones who would open the hands to which you refer. And it wouldn't change my mind, because I am already a passer and I don't have much of a mind to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
