So we are asking the forum for their opinions. Thanks, Wrecksvee AKA Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think 2♠ is enough. If the auction continues (likely), I can bid hearts later, giving a good picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMoe Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 2.5 ♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetb Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 2.5♠ would be perfect for this hand - you have the 'dummy points' for 3♠ but only the HCP for 2♠. I follow the rule that generally responder should be the aggressive one at teams, so I will go low and bid 2♠. Over any excuse by partner, I will bid the game.

Zelandakh Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 2♠ for me. We only have the "dummy points" for 3♠ if we count KQ bare as 6 points. That's a bit rich for me and it is not like our hearts are an automatic source of tricks here. If you do bid 3 on hands like this then you are basically saying that your ranges are 12-14/15-17(18), which imho is just plain wrong. You have an invite available over 2♠ so this range should be larger. It is not dissimilar from what lalldonn was talking about in the 2m/3m thread. Is it Teams btw? I do not see it mentioned anywhere in the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see it mentioned anywhere in the OP. The hand was played in a team match. At the time I did not consider "dummy points" but bid 3!S based on 6 LTC. Partner's hand was something like ♠Kxxx ♥xx ♦xxx ♣AQxx. So he bid 4♠. ♥ broke 1-4, x KQ8x, and ♠were 3-2 and the contract failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 2S. It feels like I need just a touch more to go to 3S. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
