Hanoi5 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 ♠Kxx♥109xxxx♦98♣Jx Imp's, red vs white ( :( ): (1♠)-2♥-(X)-??? What if RHO bids 3♦ instead of double? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_clown Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 4♥. I dont consider any other bid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 4H is enough. Let them figure out what to do from there. Five hearts is more likely to egg them into a making slam with one of two critical cards (spade King) in the box. 4 is more likely to let them find they are missing two controls, but not which two.

S2000magic Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 4♥ feels right. I'd want (a lot more) distribution for anything higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhu D Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 With an 11 card spade fit are they going to ever pass for penalties, so risk is nil. 4H. Is X support or negative? I think 4H either way is good though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkham Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 4♥ does feel right. But here's my theory: if we had those clubs instead of hearts, and partner had overcalled 2♣ instead, then I reckon 5♣ would feel right and be accompanied by arguments like maximum pressure. ♠ Kxx♥ Jx♦ 98♣ 109xxxx Imp's, red vs white: (1♠)-2♣-(X)-??? Are you telling me you'd only bid 4♣ here? I think there's a natural tendency to bid four in majors and five in minors, even though we don't expect to make it. So for the original problem I'm bucking the trend and bidding 5♥! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Actually Danny, I would only bid 4C - with such a flat hand 5CX sounds like 800. ahydra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 4H no matter what. Partner hasn't made a weak jump overcall, he's made a vulnerable 2 level overcall. He may well have defensive values as well, so no need to bid anything higher. Ax of spades, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 4-only for me. The colors, my shape, and the SK are all reasons for me to not bid 5H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 4 ♥ -- you have an 11+ card fit. Partner shouldn't be making a 2 level red vs. white overcall without some pretty decent values. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
