mycroft Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 It's a really nice hand but it doesn't have spades. 2♣-2♠-p (random GF)-3♠ and you're in great shape. Is 4NT "two places to play?" 5NT "Pick a slam, I'll correct clubs"? Also, as it turns out, it doesn't have clubs. 2♣-X-p-5♣ isn't unheard of. 1♥ then however many diamonds are necessary will get the point across, even against a spade barrage. It might end up in 5 rather than 6 (or 6 rather than 7), but at least it will get to the right strain. I guess it depends how often your opponents come in at unfavourable over a 2♣ opening. I will admit that given that it is the worst case for them, and IMPs, that improves the chance that 2♣ will be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 1H for me thanks, this does not fit into a 2C bid group for me. I doubt the auction will go all pass, it rarely does.Agreed, particularly given that I'm opening 1♥ and only have 2 spades, is much more likely to be passed out if one of my suits is spades and opps have to rescue me at the 2 level. Also in my normal partnership we do tend to respond fairly light, so if partner has the spades he's quite likely to bid them if he has anywhere near a response.
