paulg Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 The winning action on the hand depends on who you are playing. I passed and scored 10/20 matchpoints for making the par score (+130 available in either minor). Three people bid and made three notrump, which was not an easy contract to defend but leading from four clubs to the jack was not ideal). Two players passed their partner's one spade overcall (!!), scoring +170 on a friendly defence. I was happy to get an average in the end :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alik1974 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I would pass. Even if partner has the majority of the outstanding HCP, it is possible that no game makes. In IMP it would be a tougher decision, but most likely the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Pass The hand is a complete misfit. So I'll just get out of the auction as quickly as possible even with a pretty good hand. The length and quality of your ♣ suit should give 2 ♣ a decent play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
