JLOGIC Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Maybe he just wanted to know how people would bid this hand? This is an every day bridge decision that is very important, should we just bid 2S or should we force to the 3 level? Should we try to get to hearts or just show our fit? Pretty reasonable problem even if it's not flashy at all. Plus, no one else even mentioned double, including you, who now like double so that alone makes it a reasonable problem since no one else did what he did.

AlexJonson Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 2S Despite the heavy alternative positions I wouldn't consider anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing was wrong with the bidding problem. Don't hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 My bad, I assumed you read past the opening post: Is this why you were called a beginner? No lol. The table was some OC friends of mine (partner is GNT teammate). I just filled in for a few hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Well you seem to have got to the right spot (at IMPs I don't want to double 3♦ for a likely -1, and opps hands didn't have to be that flat), presuming opps get the defence right. It helps if you use the hand diagram for the OP, I misread that you had 6 hearts when I recommended 2♥, it's a much closer problem with the actual hand.

han Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 My bad, I assumed you read past the opening post Hey, be careful not scare lalldonn away. I know he can't read, his arguments suck and he never knows when to shut up once he starts posting, but he's still better than 95% of the other posters! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromageGB Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Nobody mentioned the alternative X to transfer to hearts (showing 5) then rebid (hence showing these values) 2♠. That's my choice, rebidding 3♠ if West goes 3♦ and partner does not double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
