MrAce Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I would force to game so I would bid 4♥, though 3♥ is fine if you aren't forcing to game. I don't agree with the idea that if partner has Txxxx xxx xx xxx or something he should bid game over 3♥. (I thought you said that but I can't find it, or maybe it was someone else?) That is not practical since if partner makes game opposite a 0 count he should bid game. I wouldn't accept without at least a working card outside. I just don't cater my bidding to partner holding the worst hand possible, and especially not to holding three spades when he bids spades. Sure I would bid 1♠ with xxx xxxxx xxx xx but I can't remember ever actually doing it so it's not like I'm going to worry about it. No you are not wrong, i said it. And i stand by my opinion about it. (i guess i said it while quoting Rainer and before that too) It is not about only between 3 card spades and 5 card spades, there are also 4 card spade hands. I would definetely bid 4♠ with 5 of them over 3♥. It makes a lot of difference imo to have 9 card fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

655321 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I agree that somebody has a huge hand but it could easily be my lho and that's why I lean towards 1♠. If lho has the big one, maybe he can show it with 1nt or a jump and I'm hoping that will slow partner down with their own good hand. And I am kinda hoping LHO cannot show that with a 1NT bid over my 2D. 2♦. Because diamonds is my longest suit. Trying to predict everyone else's hand and distorting your bid to fit your diagnosis instead of your hand is going about things backwards. Just bid your hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenvic Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I would bid 1♠ on Qxx xxx Txxx xxx but not on this hand. I have visions of defending 4♥ whacked and partner giving up tricks by leading ♠. He'll probably give up tricks anyway but at least I can win the post mortum when I bid 2♦. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If D.O.T shuts down the road, then we log on to BBO and play bridge or log onto BBF and laugh a lot !!Some of the responses by some of the posters on BBF suggest laughter? I think not. :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
