Adobe BC Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 [hv=pc=n&s=saqt43hakt84d74ca&n=sk985h6daq8c87632&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=ppp1sp2dp2hp3sp4np5hp6sppp]266|200[/hv] 2♦ was Drury, showing 4+♠, invitational. It was not alerted. South stated that she new it was Drury, but was concentrating on her rebid. The 3♠ bid seems very aggressive, perhaps covering the possibility that the meaning of 2♦ was missed. North stated that she liked her hand, but still thought it was a limit raise. On a favorable lie of the cards, hand made 7. Is there cause to adjust the score?

blackshoe Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 It seems to me the answer to the OP's question is "no". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 To me, it looks very much like N was panicking that partner forgot Drury because he did not alert 2D, and then decided to make it clear to partner that he had a spade raise, by jumping in spades. "If" this is what happened, and I am not saying it did, then N used UI to choose that call - illegal. Regardless of whether there was damage to NOS or not, North [in that case] needs an education of not using UI. At least TD should ask why N jumped in spades when he had already shown a 4-card limit raise in spades the round before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycroft Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 If 2♥ is natural (and accepting the invite - I play it as "full opener, but not enough to accept on my own", so this doesn't apply to me) then I think 3♠ makes sense - splintering in partner's second suit may not be helpful, but the hand really is better than a LR opposite a majors hand. If 2♥ is just "accept", nothing special, 4♥ appeals. If 2♥ is "minimum but real opener", then I think 4♠ seems right (my hand isn't just a LR, but no interest in slam opposite a random 12, 13 count).
