Statto Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Partner could have 5+ ♥ but be too weak to bid them at the 2 level. 2♦ for now and see what happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 For me dbl promises hearts and I would bid the same as after 1♦-P-1♥-P. I prefer 2♥ to 2♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige1 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 MP favourable you dealt.Q AKx AQxxxx Txx1D-(1S)-x-p? Assuming partner's double just shows ♥, IMO 2♣ = 10, 2♥ = 9, 2♦ = 8, 3♥ = 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcw Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 2♥ to start. Good trumps, ruffing value, and a pretty good side suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenberg Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I would like to be able to start with 2♥. I'm not sure why rho didn't raise to some number of spades. I suppose maybe lho has six and partner also has a few. Anyway I expect more spade bids and I would really like to bid 2♥ now and compete with 3♦ later, offering a choice. Unfortunately, I doubt partner would read it that way. Nonetheless, I think I will try it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 2H seems kinda legit at matchpoints. Not sure, interesting hand, I'd like to think I can 140 them or something and beat diamonds (or hopefully 110 and not lose to diamonds. As kenberg says, RHO didn't raise spades, so it's fairly likely partner has some length there, and also somewhat likely he has some points, so I think 2H might play well.

MrAce Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 the above players don;t like to play at the one level as much as I do. Fluffy i know mine and your styles are very different from each other but i didnt understand what u meant here. Do you wanna play 1♠ doubled or do you wanna bid 1NT ? Both sounds very... unusual choices to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm wondering where all the spades are? It sounds like partner may have a bunch of them along with his hearts, are you going to be able to ruff them AND draw trumps playing in ♥?

whereagles Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Probably pard has some spades, yes. That means he probably has no 5 hearts, so I'm going with 3D here. Really, it's 3D wtp for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
