mr1303 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 [hv=pc=n&s=sqj93hj93dt2ckj63&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1hp]133|200[/hv] Is this a raise to 2H? Or do you go via 1NT forcing? Does it make a difference if you play limited (up to 16) 1 heart and 1 spade openings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 No aces but you have a small doubleton and KJ and QJ9. 2♥ for me. I hate 1NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Looks plenty good enough to be constructive to me. (But I wouldn't be caught dead playing single raise constructive.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWO4BRIDGE Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Playing 2/1, the 3 card raise of 2H = 8,9 exact . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 [hv=pc=n&n=skt2hakq62dqj63c7]133|100[/hv] This was partner's hand. He bid 4H opposite my constructive raise. It made, but only because of a (reasonable) misdefence. He did comment that he thought I was light for 2H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Letting 4H through was quite common. I have no problems being in 4H here (we had the same auction and made the same 10 tricks). It's more interesting as a defensive problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If p doesn't like being in 4H at IMPS on that sequence, he could at least offer to have his shortness better placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 You're not light, your hcp are just in the wrong suit. If partner makes a SST he'd end up in 3H like he wants... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 You have a huge amount of wastage between these 2 hands and there was still (good) play for 4♥. Unless your system contains a way of locating the wastage it is not surprising to end in the game contract. Of course, locating that wastage may well also make the defence easier, so going directly to 4 has a fair bit going for it on a purely practical level.

pigpenz Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 nothing wrong with 2♥ i Have seen some that play constructive at 8-10HCPI would probably make a game try with the other hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
