mtvesuvius Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 [hv=pc=n&s=skq96h976dkt72c73&d=s&v=n&b=15&a=pp1d3c]133|200[/hv] Two questions here... Do you think you have enough to make a double/some other call? ... Say you pass over 3♣, LHO passes, and partner backs in with 3♦. What now?

rogerclee Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Just because I wouldn't double doesn't mean I would pass. 3D seems like a fine bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Armed with the information that pard backs in with 3D if I pass, I can say I would have preferred to bid 3D instead of passing. Since I chose to pass (reasonable), I am not well placed now. Pard's reopening is too wide-ranging to make a rational choice at this point. Will stick with the pass and hate it. If I feel like punishing pard for reopening, I guess I could try 3S which he will have no reason to believe is a game try with diamonds.

MrAce Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I am coming from pass, and i also passed 3♣, and pd saw them both still bidding 3♦. I am aware onlything we make can be 3♦, but sometimes preempts win, i will show my fit. 4♣ or 4♦, probably 4♣. He did not balance with DBL but that doesnt mean he is weak. A Axx AQJxxx xxx was he supposed to DBL with this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Why would I pass over 3C? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Another direct 3♦ bidder. This hand is worth only 1 bid and support is the only possible one, so that's what I do. If pard happens to have 4432... well though sht. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtvesuvius Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Really? 3♦ on this? I didn't think it was enough for anything here, but I guess I'm a bit paranoid... Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Really? 3♦ on this? I didn't think it was enough for anything here, but I guess I'm a bit paranoid...

Finch Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I am with the immediate 3D bidders here. What do you think you need to bid 3D directly over 3C?If I didn't bid 3D I would double (and pass 3H). Passing over 3C seems like a great way to concede a double partial swing at best.

olien Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 3♦ is pretty clear IMO Can't handle a 3♥ bid from partner if I X, but if I bid 3♦, if partner advances with 3♥ I bid 3♠ and if he advances with 3♠ I raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I can double here as part of a xfer scheme, showing D-support and exploring values. I have stronger fit bids and non-fit bids.If I get 3S, 4S. 3NT, P. 3H, 3S.That's about right on values I have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I can double here as part of a xfer scheme, showing D-support and exploring values. That doesn't sound right. How do you find 4-4 fits in majors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 "That doesn't sound right. How do you find 4-4 fits in majors?" -- gwnn** As I said and suggested as rebids, 3S -> 4S, 3H -> 3S, haven't we found 4-4M?** Since X promises 4D is okay, these tries are clear.

gwnn Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Unfortunately I don't quite understand your post dake50. I thought by transfer scheme you meant X=4+♦3♦=hearts3♥=spades3♠=clubs or balanced or something like that Now if 3♦ and 3♥ promise 5 cards (in the respective major suits) and X promises 4 diamonds, what do you do with AxxxAKxxxxJxx ? How do you find a 4-4 fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
