P_Marlowe Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Sure - 2D, some would have overcalled 1NT, some would have made a T/O X with the S hand. And soe would have started this thread in the I/A section, instead of the Expert Class section. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I don't see how I could stop short of game opposite a hand that bid 1♥ after I passed and both opponents have bid. So I would just bid 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm not sure game is there. Opener has advertised 12-13 points and can't have more than 5 HCP in ♣s. Partner probably has something like ♥ Jxxxxx for the overcall. But after 2 bidding opponents, I'd expect partner to have some decent outside values for the overcall. sounds to me like responder scraped up a response with hardly anything and ♣ shortness. So I'm going to DBl 2 ♣ first, then raise ♥s if they compete further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 partner's overcall must fit one of 2 purposes: to fight for the final contract of to offer a good lead. We know he doesn't offer a lead, so he must have a good hand, probably a 2 suiter with diamonds, with some luck we will be able to ruff a couple on our hand.

Ty at all for help me I would have bid 1nt on my first turn... Now I bid 2♦. Looks like there are more than 40 points here...
