Hanoi5 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 MP's, all red: ♠T9x♥QJ♦Kxx♣AKQxx 1♣ or 1NT? After: 1NT-2♥*-2♠-3♥??? *5+ hearts 4+ in a minor If you weren't going to pass 3♥, would you bid 3♠ or 4♣? Do you consider the pass normal? (2♠ is a sign-off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 did you really consider opening 1♣ or bidding 4♣? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Along the same lines as Fluffy. I open 1NT and do nothing further. This is about as likely a -200 as I have seen recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I prefer to bid freely when my hand has gotten better, not when it has gotten worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I prefer to bid freely when my hand has gotten better, not when it has gotten worse. This. Your red suit points just turned into dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Also, they might be pushed to game, hope they don't get doubled and concede -100. Surprise, the QJ are dropping and LHO caught the perfect dummy. "Must be our lucky day pard". They might even make 5. Completely obvious pass.

AyunuS Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Obvious pass. You probably won't make anything you attempt to bid at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhu D Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm opening 1NT and passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Easy pass here...WTP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalldonn Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I agree obvious pass over 3♥ but we can make the point that partner's 2♠ over 2♥ has a higher minimum than if he transferred directly over 1NT. He should pass over 2♥ with 5332 0 counts (and 1 and 2...) If my majors here were QJx xx I would definitely raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 If playing SNT, I would have downgraded this and opened 1♣. Having opened 1NT it now looks like an easy pass at red. If playing WNT, having downgraded, I bid 3♠ now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
