whereagles Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well, open 2C. Who knows, maybe pard replies 2S :) You can always blast 6H later on, so for now you can go slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwar0123 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 1♥ - best chance of getting partner to show a spade suit With my luck he will have the akxx of diamonds a void in hearts and 4 spades to the 10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 after 1♥ LHO bids 2NT and partner doubles, after 2♣ I think LHO will also bid 2NT for the minors and partner will again double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) 2 ♣ (2NT) X (pass?)3 ♥ Does partners double just show points or does he show the ability to give a penalty double of a minor?In the later case I would stop at 4 ♥ if I hear no further encouragement from partner. In the first case, I will try 6♥. If partner shows spades, I would look for 7 if possible, else stop in six of a major, without yet knowing which to pick.

phil_20686 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 If i opened 1H i am well placed as now can auto splinter into diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I take it that dbl of 2NT is penalty-seeking. If so, I'll just bid 4H now. It's normal to find pard with a spade honor, but that might be the best he has there. The hand has devaluated and I'll bid accordingly. This isn't very scientific, but you can't have it all after a pree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't very scientific, but you can't have it all after a pree.I think so too, so I'll pass for penalty before bidding 4♥. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 if you pass 2NT X LHO bids 3♣ and partner doubles if you bid 3♥ partner bids 3NT if you bid 4♦ auto-splinter partner will bid 4♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I guess that means I get to play 4H. Can I have the play problem now, please? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 if you pass 2NT X LHO bids 3♣ and partner doublesI think I can now bid 3♥ and it should be GF setting trumps (I started with 1♥), but I wouldn't be confident of that with any partnership, so I'd probably bid 4♥.

Poky Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Anything but 1♥ is a crime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 so here is the final results, the hand was had dealt at the club: LHO is 2056, partner is 2074, RHO is 5512 If you play 3♣X there are 6 unavoidable losers for declarer, +300 is almost a top If you bid 4♥ you go down 2 for a good score 60-70% If you play 6♥ with this particular opponent you go down 4 undoubled wich is a poor score anyway of around 25%.

rhm Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I take it that dbl of 2NT is penalty-seeking. If so, I'll just bid 4H now. It's normal to find pard with a spade honor, but that might be the best he has there. The hand has devaluated and I'll bid accordingly. This isn't very scientific, but you can't have it all after a pree.It would never occur to me to stop below six, if my partner doubled 2NT over 1♥.I admit I am firmly in the 2♣ camp, but having opened 1♥ with a reasonable partner I would auto splinter with 4♦, followed up by 5♣ over 4♥ and finally 5♠ over 5♥. Maybe partner can bid 7♥ (unlikely though after 1♥). I think your 4♥ bid when you have ten tricks in hand should get the Ayatollah reward for courageous bidding.

I'm never stopping short of 4♥ tho, and I'll take my 60-70% for going 2 off B-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Don't we get to see more of what's up by opening 1♥?Maybe, but partner will never know what's up if we never tell him. When I said "see what's up" I just meant that 2♣ is a good start of the auction despite the problems that we probably will face next round. I did not mean to suggest we mastermind.
