silvr bull Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Partner and I had several misunderstandings on this deal, and the post mortem reflects continuing style disagreements. I will present this in several "installments" to focus on each decision point. Here is the first. Do you reopen this auction (playing with a good partner against random BBO opponents)? If yes, what reopening bid do you prefer? [hv=pc=n&e=s87hakj984dqj872c&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=p1h2cpp]133|200[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtK78 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 This is not a problem so far. 2♦ is clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 2 ♦. This shows at least 5-5 in the suits bid. If you held something like ♠ 872 ♥ AKJ98 ♦ AJ82 ♣ 5, you should reopen with a double. This caters to the possibility that partner has made a penalty pass, but also shows a willingness to compete.

silvr bull Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I chose to reopen with a rebid of my strong six card ♥ suit instead of the weaker 5 card ♦ suit because I thought there was a good chance that I would have an opportunity to bid 3♦ later over either 2♠ or 3♣. If partner holds 2 small ♥ and 3 small ♦, I want him to take me back to ♥. There is also the possibility after I reopen that LHO will bid ♠ and RHO will raise to game. At equal vul, I am not prepared to bid 5♦, so partner would be on lead against 4♠. If partner has ♦Ax, I do not want to encourage him to lead that suit. Anyway, the high spirits continue with partner jumping to 3NT. What should I do now?

Fluffy Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 your options previous round were double and 2♦, 2♥ doesn't compute. Partner bid the final contract and you got nothing new to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellSpyder Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 your options previous round were double and 2♦, 2♥ doesn't compute.Even 3♦ computes better than 2♥ on my calculator.... I think OP might find it hard to find many people who would consider 2♥ seriously, which makes it a bit tricky to continue the bidding in the situation in which we now find ourselves - though I agree with Fluffy that pass seems the best we can do.

fromageGB Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Agree with everything so far ... I guess the style disagreements are pretty fundamental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
