billw55 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 No, and I don't open the bidding either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd71 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 No, and I don't open the bidding either. Fair enough. If you pass initially, opponents bidding is 1♥-2♥. Anything now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Of course you act here. You're not going to pass the decision to a pard who more or less already said it all and will thus pass like 98% of the time. Given the opponent's fit, our side is very likely to have a part-score as well and it's therefore OUR duty to act. You would pass with a balanced 12-14, not with this unbalanced hand. You can either dbl for take out or bid 3C. Dbl seems slightly better so that's my bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenvic Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I pass, happy to leave it in 2 hearts, I'd like to use x to show a better hand than this 11 count, with stiff Q in their suit! The law of total tricks is hard to apply here from this side, partner know knows I'm short in H (or they have a 9+ card fit) so i must have at least 4 clubs, if he has 4 (and 4 hearts) he'll bid 3c (to push them higher) if he has 3 then 16 trumps is the total of teh LAW and it's been a while but I think you don't bid 2 over 2 in that case.
