JLOGIC Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 3D at all forms of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I can see an argument for pass, but 3♦ is clearly the normal action. But if you were swinging or something and if RHO is a known joker then pass might be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 3♦. Anything else (3NT?) is a crapshoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgr Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I did bid 3♦ and that did go -1.I wondered if pass was better with this balanced hand.Note: This is maybe an advantage of playing transfers over 3C in pass out. Partner knows then that DBLer probably has no strong hand with 5cM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 You can pass with hands like this but not with all your stuff in one suit. You have great diamonds, no need to go for it on this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 MP's[hv=pc=n&s=s532h432daqjtcq32&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=3cppdp]133|200[/hv]What do you bid? (would you do the same at IMP's?) at mp I would bid 3d since it keeps the bidding open and stretchingfor games isnt that important. Yes it is indeed an underbid but I can compete further if needed. I am trying to avoid a zero and it is usually easier to avoid a zero by underbidding a tad than overbidding. at IMPS I would hazard a "crapshoot" 3n. I dont just have 9 hcp I have3 dia tricks and a club stopper and the dia suit will provide entriesto allow me to make finesses that are a favorite to win. Its a gamblebut 3n might actually be safer if lho is short in clubs and the oppsget a dia ruff they cant get in 3n. P will know I probably have only 1club stopper since I would prefer a penalty pass to 3n with 2 club stops.I show some stuff and p gets to make the last decision with some knowledge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Maybe, since everyone would bid 3D, the problem lies elsewhere...or it just falls under "sh.. happens". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
