Lestat Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Hi all, BBO hand: You hold, red vs. red: S 85H AJ2D QJ983C A72 LHO opens 2S (weak), passed around to you. What call do you make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bglover Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Your real question is "Do I pass, double or bid 3d?" 3D is out on suit quality issues... X may well force you into a 4-3 heart fit on your bad 13 count. BUT failure to act may cause you to miss a big plus where partner needs you to double... I risk double and the 4-3 fit at the 3 level. Why? Because partner often has a hand that cannot act in direct seat (such as good spades or not enough hearts to overcall on his own). You may not go plus, but then opps were making 2s anyway... Best of a bad lot to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 DBL.... The only way to play 2!S doubled to is start with a double. If partner bids 2NT... I take that as not natural, and I bid 3CLUBS. If parnter bids only 3C/3D/3H, he is showing some values, but I will guess not enough for game, and pass.
