Raff90 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 After 2♠ opening its very hard and i think im fine with playing 4♥.In 6♥ you give up Ace of♣ and a ruff anyway ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 You can bid a slam easily enough if you overcall a slightly bent 2N over 2♠, or if you overcall 3♥. I can't make up my mind whether I want to be in 6♣ or 6♥ or neither, possibly depends on the auction. Opps silent, we bid 1♥-2N(4♥, good raise to 3 +)-3♣(ostensibly natural/Hxx game try or better but better than bidding xxxx♠)-4♦(KC♣)-4♥(0/3)-4♠(Q♣?)-5♦(yes +K♦)-6♣/♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 2♠ - p - p - 3♣p - 3♥ - p - 3♠p - 5♥ - p - 6♥ Is the only route I can see and it's very much a stretch. Against silent opps, 1♥ followed by jacoby 2nt should get there easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 #1 No#2 we should reach 4H, but this may also not a sure thing. Most likely West should bid 2NT, Stayman from East, 4H. Without 2S, I doubt this as well. 1H - 4D (1)4H - all pass With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'd also fall in with the 2 NT bidders and settle for 4 ♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWO4BRIDGE Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Can you make it ( to 6H ) if the opponents are silent?[hv=pc=n&w=st652ha8763dakckq&e=sahkqj9d7cj987654]266|100[/hv] Using Zel's mini- or in-between splinter ( 2S! over 1H open ): 1H - 2S!2NT!

Zelandakh Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Using Zel's mini- or in-between splinter ( 2S! over 1H open ): 1H - 2S!2NT! ( asks ) - 3D! ( ♦ singleton )3♦ would be a mini-splinter, for which this hand is too strong. The strong splinter with a singleton diamond is shown by a 4♦ rebid. You could probably play that a 3♦ rebid is also two-way but I have not tried it. If you start playing that then you can name the convention after yourself perhaps :).

Codo Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I would never bid 2 NT with the west hand, but I know that much better player then me know that this is wrong. But my partners trust me to have at least a stopper against a weak two, even against one w/r in first seat- or at least some tricks somewhere and not this pile of junk... I think East must protect with 3 ♣ and now? Is 3 ♥ forcing after I passed first? I do not think so. So I guess I would bid 3 ♠ and reach a mundane 3 NT from East... Well, I hope for an honour at the first spade lead and I will usually be fine- at least I will make it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
