straube Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 ok, I regretted this bid though it worked out for us. Was it reasonable or wrong? All vul matchpoints 1S (1N) ? J74 T9872 8 QJ93 I bid 2S here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLOGIC Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yeah with a stiff I think you have to do it despite the obvious risk involved. Too much chance 1N plays well and 2S plays well when you have a stiff imo. Also you might push them out of NT and into diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 good bid surely p will pull back after hearing the 1n behind them sothere is very little risk of an overbid disaster. The 2s bid also providesa not inconsiderable amount of prremption. Keep up the good work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 For some reason I always feel happier to raise partner when I have length in an unbid major. It feels like that should make it more difficult for the opponents to land on their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMoe Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I like the bid. There's a gadget you might consider - If you play, say, Modified Capelletti over opponent's 1NT, try having responder use Mod Capelletti responses! Here you would bid 2♦ showing at least 3-card support of partner's ♠s and 5+ cards in ♥s. You also deny the ability to double for penalty.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
