TWO4BRIDGE Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 1♠ ( WTP ? ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broze Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 1♠ for me. What else? EDIT: However, I agree this auction can sometimes be tricky, especially if you have an OK hand and length in one of the opponents' suits. For example, a hand I played from earlier today where I sat west: What is your call? What are the meanings of 2♣, 2♦ and double in your partnership?

Hanoi5 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yeah, 1♠, was there a hesitation or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I'd bid 2♠. This is quite a good hand opposite a takeout double of clubs, though the possibility of diamond ruffs is a bit worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 What else? 2♠ is a possibility so long as you have an understanding this doesn't promise the world's fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Tempted by 2♠, but not sure if I'd bid it at the table, the 5 diamonds are a big plus in that partner will be overruffing and the next hand following. 1♠ most of the time. Partner probably has something that means we're taking 500 out of anything they bid at this vul, but I'm not doubling 1♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 If you bid 1♠ the bidding will go 1♠-(3♣)-3♠-(4♣) have you bid enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 If you bid 1♠ the bidding will go 1♠-(3♣)-3♠-(4♣) have you bid enough? No. I seem to have an obvious 4S bid now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
