Hanoi5 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Mp's, white vs red, partner passes as dealer and so does RHO: ♠J97xxxxx♥K♦Kx♣AJ Pa-Pa-1♠-Pa1NT-Pa-??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 2♠. If partner can't act over that, I don't think I want to be in 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkham Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 My first thought was 3♠, as even if partner has short spades we're unlikely to have many trump losers. But then if partner bids 3NT over 3♠ I'm forced to bid 4♠. Now I think 2♠ is best, and if opponents balance we can then bid 3♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I would take other openings into consideration. LHO's silence smells badly, I would want to stay low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 ♠J97xxxxx♥K♦Kx♣AJ There's an easy way to look at this. If partner has two spades and three big cards (say, Kx, Axxx, xxx, Kxxx), partner is raising and we can bid game. So 2♠ is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
