Siegmund Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Swiss match against a good but not great team. Favorable vulnerability. [Apologizing for originally saying West dealt and opened:] EAST deals and passes, South passes, West opens 1♠, but the opps are never heard from again. ♠AQTx♥AKJxx♦---♣AKxx ♠xx♥x♦ATxxx♣Q8xxx We were quite happy with our bidding sequence, as it turned out, but it was a fun one to bid and to play, and wanted to share.

gnasher Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I think 2♦ is a bit of an underbid. Lacking a way to show both minors invitational, I'd bid 3♦, so (1♠)dbl - 3♦3♥ - 4♣7♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (1♠) - x - 2♦ - 2♠ - 4♣ - 7♣ What means 2♥ and 3♥ instead of 2♠ on your style?. What I mean is... I though 2♠ denied offshape double or perhaps allowed balanced hands, but not void in partner´s suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandakh Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Some Souths might open this hand 2NT (or equivalent)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWO4BRIDGE Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I think 2♦ is a bit of an underbid. 2♦is an underbid not knowing what kind of T/O DBL partner made ??

Siegmund Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 We got to 6C by an auction similar to wang's:X - 2D ; 2S - 5C; 6C. Yes, I thought 2D was an underbid too, but I expected West to come back in with more spades or partner to bid hearts next, and my plan was to bid "as many clubs as I had to." After the 2S call I was ready to insist on game in a minor and partner liked his hand even more. I do think it's right to bid only 6 not 7, since there is a risk of a light 3rd seat opener and losing a major suit finesse. Partner felt his hand was too big to just rebid 2H, and like some in this thread, our only path to showing a really huge hand that isn't one-suited is to X then cuebid then bid naturally.
