gnasher Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 2♠, regardless of the score. I have no idea whether 2♥ was opened in the other room, so there's no scope for trying to duplicate the action in the other room, even if I wanted to.

Siegmund Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 So it's only we matchpoint addicts who are passing? I admit it's not a 100% clearcut action especially if partner is light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'd pass if I were 30 down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 lol @ pass 2♠ is wtp imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Tough hand. Pass, 2♠ and 3NT are all options. Much will depend on opponents style, and how light partner can be. And how freely partner doubles with only 3 spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I lean towards 2♠ also, downgrading for awaful shape and honnors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wank Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 from the question i'm guessing someone thought his heart holding was worth more than 1 trick and passed, helping to piss away a 30 imp lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Pass. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Passing may hit the jackpot, but I'm settling with 2♠, as pard might be doubling on a very marginal hand, say 11 hcp with some 5440. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Downgrading from what - i.e. what would you bid if you weren't downgrading?there are 9 counts I'd bid 3m with on a 4 card suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolvyrj Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I dont try to tell that i know the answer to this one, all i know that i hate the Lebensohl convention right now :lol: .But that 2♠ is a WTP solution, how? U bidding 3 card suit, i would understand it if there really is no choice. Pass is one of them, is it a good one i dont know, but it is an alternative. After 2♠ u may very well be playing 3-3 trump and even in Moysian fit u will be taking second ♥ruff in long trump and be victim of an over ruff.Ok if prd is bidding distributional 11- count, defending 2♥dbl aint such a great idea either.What am i going to do.... Pass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Passing is a great start to give away your 30 imps lead imo. Not only they can make, but also partner may have a big hand and started dbl with where we actually have a good minor fit. Oooops 2♥ dbled made or down 1 or 2, while we are cold for slam or at least game. I bid 2♠, and yes we may play 3-3 ♠, but they dunno that, it aint picnic walk to dbl 2♠. And whatever happens to 2♠, i am expecting it will be a push. Whether pass works or not, i don't think it will be a push board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 One reason it's unlikely to be a flat board is that 30-imp-down weak twos often look completely different to 30-imp-up weak twos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 2NT Lebensohl, then sign off in 3NT. 30+ and red, my partner doesn't double lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolvyrj Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 If we r cold to say slam 2♥dbl wont be just 2 down. Im not trying to tell u what gospel says bout this hand, simply that i dont think there is a WTP solution. If we end up 2♠, say what r u going to do when it is dbled for example?3Nt is a live possibility here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Likely H:A9 +SQ or CQ or CJ scores in defense. Does partner have 3+DT? ALWAYS.! Try for a bonanza 800+ against no sure game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
