but partner, I had 6 to the 9!


Recommended Posts

Who does this hand belong to?

 

Opener has maybe 9 or 10 HCP, responder's hand HCPs are unknown but normally responder will have 3 marking partner with at least 4 s.

 

Responder can still have a fairly good hand -- up to a decent 11 or 12. So there's no guarantee that the hand belongs to your side.

 

So if the hand is passed back to partner, there's still a chance partner can choke out a reopening Dbl with a decent hand.

 

But with partner probably holding 4 s, what suit is partner's hand likely to be short in? s.

 

So I pass and bid 3 after a reopening Dbl.

Interesting. You explain how many hearts partner has. You explain that he is likely short in spades. And, you conclude that he will reopen with a double and then you will bid spades.

 

I conclude from your premise that the auction is over right now, unless you bid 3S; and perhaps it is best that the auction is over right now, but am going to bid 3S anyway.
