ggwhiz Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have to accept the help suit game try in my partnership and doing so with a 3nt bid shows this flavor of hand. Pard will most often correct but I survive the post mortem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 3♥ Worst possible hearts, worst possible shape, half my hcp probably not working. If 4♥ is a favourite opposite this hand, I'd expect partner to have bid it already on most (not all) layouts. I don't play that a help suit try requires that one bid game anytime one has help in the suit.....I like it to be an information exchange rather than a binary question about the suit. Partner should, in my view, always play us for one working card for our raise....if he makes a try, he needs more than one working card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I would bid 1NT the first time, which pretty much shows this hand in one bid. OK, maybe I am heavy one heart spot, but I accept that in the interest of simplicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm on the fence here between 3♥ and 3NT, but 3NT is game and by bidding it I should show a clear preference for 3NT rather than 4♥ so I'll try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Another vote for 3NT this time (and for 1NT last time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I will try 3NT. The best that can be said about it is that it only loses when 3NT fails and 3♥ would have made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 3 NT > 4♥>3♥ for me at imps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 3♥. I don't think this hand is nearly as good as others do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 3N. There is nothing that says our club cards are garbage. And...I HAS NINE POINTS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Partner made an overcall so my raising range is about good 7-11 and my limit is about good 11-14 (Im playing stronger limit raise than most) I have a big T of clubs but the shape is bad. So its close between 3H and 3Nt but i slightly prefer 3H. I have no preference for 2H/1Nt i think both are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
