ahydra Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 3C for me - mainly because it takes away opps' 2M bids. Can always bring spades in later if partner shows up with something. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dake50 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 So hate Flannery. 3C. Partner knows to show his Major if at all reasonable. Then 4M on.Partner sees Clubs for source of tricks if he has D-stop(s). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 3C. Partner knows to show his Major Wishful thinking. Axxxx xxx xxx xx gives excellent game and partner won't "know" to show his major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Partner will also frequently bid 3N with a major and diamonds stopped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OleBerg Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 3♣ against most opponents. I feel comfortable doubling both 3♦ and 4♦ on the next round. Double would only come into consideration vs opponents I suspect could give me problems with a 5♦ raise. And only if they are "non-purists". Another problem with X is, that I would feel compelled to raise 2♠ to 3♠, which is a bit of a stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Are you prepared to bid 4♠ if LHO bids 4♦? No? Then dbl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 3C because this is what I got. This is in general a good principle, but you can't follow it blindly. This hand needs some thinking ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Then bid 3♣ if you prefer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 MP 3cIMP X At MP there is no great need to search for sketchy gamecontracts and our hand is no great shakes for defending2d X. 3c will miss out on some hard to bid and low % majorsuit games but wont often yield a zero if the opps can make 2d x. If the bidding goes 2d 3c 3/4d I can now back inwith x with much more comfort. IMPS reaching difficult games is VERY important and xis clearly the most flexible in that department. I would have zero problems raising 2s to 3s. If P leaves the x in and it makes it is probably not ahuge loss (if opps make 2/3) since it is unlikelywe have a game.

bluecalm Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 ** And this hand finds 4S if Dbl???? ** WISHFUL THINKING - JUST TO ARGUE.! Maybe it will because we are raising spades and even if we will stop in 3♠ still spades partial >>>> clubs partial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
