yin970902 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 all play 2/1. ♠8♥A1083♦K♣AKQ9872 after RHO's 1♠ opening-bid;1♠--Double--2♠--Passpass--3♠ Here,do you think 3♣-overbid is an expert bidding?and 3♠ is a novice bidding? Please give your advice. 1♠--2♣--2♠--Passpass--3♥This process is reasonable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I am not so happy with double followed by 3♠. Not so much because I don't believe in 3nt if partner bids it. Mostly because if partner bids 4♦ I will have to bid 5♣. Which might not be such a bad contract but partner will never take me for such a discrepancy between the minors so he might well keep bidding diamonds. So if you start with double you really have to bid clubs next. Your second approach would be my preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel_k Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 So what sort of hand would bid 3♠ on the given auction? And how would people bid with the actual hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I would bid 2C, I am not so worried that this will be passed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 3♠ is "Hasn't read Why you lose at bridge"-bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 you are not taking into consideration that x followed by 3cshows a very strong hand. Not at all dissimilar from the handyou are holding. If p cannot move over your 3c follow up yoursides chances of missing game are remote. If your dia K werethe Dia A then a belated 3s would be ok because all you needis a spade stop for 3n. The dia K means not only do you need a spade stop from p but dia help as well that is a lot to wish for. Bid 3c and trust that with a reasonable 6 count p will be able to find 3n. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Start bidding your suits. You have a running club suit, and partner still has no idea, that you have such a suit. I dont mind X, but after that, bidd clubs. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Quality control.This is funny because I read QC as Queen's Council (that's a posh barrister for non-English readers) here even though I use QC as Quality Control (almost) every day in my work. I think I prefer Expert Forum Sheriff though, as suggested in the other thread; hopefully Han takes on the title instead of Under Bidder B-) .

WellSpyder Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 If you want to bid 3♠ on the second round, why not just bid it on the first round, which will still get you to 3NT if partner has a stop, while avoiding the problem Helene identifies if he doesn't that you will never convince partner what sort of hand you have?

JLOGIC Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I think doubling is reasonable, but then I would definitely bid 3C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I would bid 2C, I am not so worried that this will be passed out.This. Helene's concern about partner bidding diamonds is relevant, but we disagree about the first action; if we double and then later bid clubs as a non-jump, CHO will think our doubt about strain includes a few diamonds.
