VM1973 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Holding ♠ Jxx♥ Jxxxx♦ Axx (correction. ♦Ax)♣ KQx The bidding goes 1♣, DBL, pass, and I bid 2♥Pass, 2♠, pass What's the right call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 In my TOX response structure 2♥ is a little bid of an underbid and 2♠ showed xtras and is invitational so I would accept with 4♠ altho I have no real problem with 3NT either.

Hanoi5 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 5333? Never held that one before. Anyway I have too much for only 2♥, I like 2NT more. I bid 4♠ in the given situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Depends a lot on which card is not there. If I have Jx Jxxxx Axx KQx then I would jump to 2H, I don't think this is too much. After 2S I would bid 2NT. I think that we are in a GF auction so I'll give partner some room to bid his hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 2S creates a GF because: The 2H jump showed values, like 9-11 or whatever.The 2S bid shows a hand too strong to overcall 1S, at least a great 16+ Therefore logically you are in a GF. You have already preempted your own auction, no need to jump around more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Well I'm not sure why you have 14 cards :) but I agree with 2H. 2S here should IMO be inv+ [not necessarily a huge hand, because it's definitely forcing], over which 4S seems fine if you hold 3 spades. If the hand actually has only 2 spades, I'd bid 3NT over 2S since you have a max for the 2H bid. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
