the hog Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 2N as a mixed raise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Agree with Ron; I'm not sure whose hand this is, so I'll make what I think is a good description. My ODR isn't great, and but I do have a 5th trump; although it's probably worthless here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearmum Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 3♦ as I hope that describes my hand accurately ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I like my hand too much for a jump to 3♦. Partner will notovercall 1♣ with 1♦ on bad hands (in theory)... so I am going to bid whatever is encouraging, 2♣ perhaps in standard or 2♦ or rdbl if those show diamonds and values.

mikestar Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Whatever shows a mixed raise in our system. If we have no such bid, with ten trumps I'll choose 3D rather than 2D but I really have too much defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Fourrière Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 3♦, or maybe 4♦ intending to double them. 5♦ needs a perfecto such as x xxx AKxxx AKxx, and the ten-card fit leaves us with a shortage of cards in the other suits for 3N.

Fluffy Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 2♦, 7-10 constructive raise, will rebid 3♦ if avaible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 what would redouble show? i'd bid 2d unless redouble shows something specific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daswallow Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 2NT as mixed raise. Don't want pard to sacrifice thinking I have no defence at all, which he may do after a 3d raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 2H as fit-bid, and for the lead. Since everybody's bidding, pard is likely to have a light overcall, so he's unlikely to try for anything funny (like game in hearts...)

cf_John0 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 3♦ as a prempritve not inviting. Further 5D for 4S or defense against 3NT/5C/...Dont agree to 4D,but consider 2NT as a wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
