SteveMoe Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Pass in standard methods. 2♦ Wilkosz if available.Passing in 2nd seat allows competing easily later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it goes something like 1m - pass - 2m (inverted) or 1D-2C with partner passing, are you planning to show both suits or just the hearts - and hope partner will work out that the flaw which stopped you opening 3H initially must be the spade side suit?

SteveMoe Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'd use Michaels if available. 5=6 and 5-losers. Partner might like ♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 It looks remarkably like a 4♥ opening to me. I have no follow-up plan as such. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Our hand and vulnerability make it :safe: to sac at extremely high levels.With the opps having only the minors and nt to work with I see little reasonto wreck our bidding chances with a 4h bid. For now I will be happy with passand wait and see how the bidding develops since it is almost impossible forthe bidding to get passed our from here. If my other 5 card suit had been a minor I would have been much happier with bidding 4h here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squealydan Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Can you post the full hand? Would love to see the actual layout. Thanks. I was doing it from memory, but I can post the link here. Hand 25. My link Looking at it now I see I got the vulnerability reversed. It was vul vs non which might change the non-passer's views.
