the hog Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 3H. Dont like the 2 unsupported Qs, but 2H is definitely an undebid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricK Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I think 2♥ is enough. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 3H for me. I trust pard will have more than AQJxxxxxxxxxx to bid 4. Might try 2H if I need a swing/top, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikos59 Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I bid 3D. According to my system, this showssix solid trumps, 3-3 in the minors with someunsupported honours and a bare top honour inspades, ace or king. 3C would show the samehand type with a low spade singleton. Seriously now, I bid 3H. Nikos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 3♥ mate, 3NT is the other option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chamaco Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Sorry to sound like a broken record, but this hand looks built for the "Gazzilli" convention, where opener rebids 2C which is either natural with clubs, or a "half reverse" hand, too weak for the 3 level, too good for a 2 level rebid.Reponder rebids 2D artificial with any constructive hand (about 8 hcp+), bids something else with negative hands. This solves the issue here, where rebidding 3H has too much side wastage, and 2H is an underbid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jlall Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 3N is too much, 2H is too little. Count me in for 3H :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 3♥ with a secret admiration for 2♣ and even 2N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 im all for the esoteric 2C bids at times, but thats when my suit is bad, or i have 3 card support for spades, or some mix of that. Here it gains nothing except a needless risk. I have no admiration for 2N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you Chamaco Clearly I don't play standard Gazzilli (don't know it) as I play that 2C promises at least 6 Hearts, forcing for one bid, says nothing about Clubs. Responder's rebid should clarify whether there is any point risking the 3 level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junyi_zhu Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 [hv=d=s&s=skhakqxxxdqxxcqxx]133|100|The bidding goes:S W N E1H - 1S -?[/hv] This time, South's ♥ is solid, what should South bid after pd's 1S response? 2H, stiff SK doesn't look great and minor suits unsupported Qxx are also rather negative. Give partner SAxxxx Hxx DAxx Cxxx(very decent hand), you need a trump lead or spade lead with trump 3-2, DK on side to make 4H. If opp leads D from DK, you still nedd trump 3-2; if opp leads diamond from Dxxxx, you need CAK on side.... if opps lead a low club, you are probably dead, if opps lead A from CAK, you still need DK on side and trump 3-2....so it really doesn't produce a good game facing a rather decent dummy and sometimes, partner may raise you to 4H with even weak hands. For example, he might have SAJxxx Hxx DKxx Cxxx, you are even worse placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this shows why 2N is better than 3H. 3N is cold with ur 1st hand, close with the 2nd hand. 3NT isn't cold, it has some fair play if heart breaks and opps has no AJxxx or KJxxx of clubs. However, if you bid 2NT, partner would raise you with a lot of weaker hands, he'd raise you with any fair 7 HCP hands, like Sxxxx Hx DAKxx Cxxxx, which you really don't have a good play. Also 2NT is rated to bid even more games than 3H here. If you bid 3H, partner would often pass with no heart support nad normal 7 HCP hands. 2H would usually guarantee a plus score and may miss games sometimes.
