kgr Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 IMPs[hv=pc=n&w=sq8had72cakqjt732&d=w&v=b&b=4&a=1d(4+)p1h]133|200[/hv]What is your plan? LHO will bid 3H if given the chance (or 4H if he has to)after first bidding 3H, LHO will bid 4H over 4C or 3NT if given the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Molyb Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'll start with 2♣ but I'm tempted by 3NT.not sure what I'd do next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMoe Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 2♣Grab the leash - time to walk this puppy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I would bid 3NT. And if they compete i will obey pd's decision knowing that he has a good view of my hand. Pd now may bid 4NT, we can make or can be a great/ok/a little poor sac vs their game. But i will not do it myself if pd passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Is this not a textbook 3♦ call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgr Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 complete hand:[hv=pc=n&s=sq8had72cakqjt732&w=sa975hq984daqj6c4&n=skt63h652dkt95c85&e=sj42hkjt73d843c96]399|300[/hv]I wondered if it is best to bid slow and give opps time to find best contractor to bid fast and high immediately.Maybe it will be more clear for opps if you bid 3NT/5♣ that you have long ♣ and it is even easier for them to find best game/slam.I didn't know and probably there is no clear answer to it?

Zelandakh Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 What is 3♥ for you, natural?Asking for a stopper. The same hand with the red suits reversed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same hand with the red suits reversed.I asked because when two suits are bid then we normally bid the suit in which we have a stopper. Doesn't that apply here?

Zelandakh Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 You can reverse these if you like. I prefer to ask, not only here but also in other two-suited auctions where this is certainly not standard (at least not for Americans and Germans).

ArtK78 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Is this not a textbook 3♦ call?Sure, if 3♦ asks for a diamond stop. To me, 3♦ would be natural and preemptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
