the hog Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Assuming it is a 2533 shape and not the 14 cards shown, you have 3 possible bids:3NT, X and 3H. You can make an argument for all 3, but I would x on this hand first and bid 3H over partner's response. If I have 4 H only in a 2443 shape, I bid 3NT.Sorry Jimmy the hand is too good for 2NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamaco Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 I double (regardless of shape 4432 or 5332). In my methods 2NT is quite an underbid (16-18/19-). So, in my view, the alternative left are 3NT and double.In my opinion double is more flexible: I can get more info about pard's hand. In response to my double, if LHO passes, pard can bid directly at 3 level to show a semipositive hand, or show a bad hand via 2NT Lebensohl.If pard bids 2NT Lebensohl, I will refuse the puppet to 3 clubs and go to 3NT (this may lose if- and only if- pard was planning to show his 4 card heart suit after the puppet to 3C; refusing the puppet will lose the heart suit here).

Is it different if it's imps?double (TOO STRONG for 2NT) I figure he will pick me for a reasonably strong hand, and even if ALL he has are 4+ ♠ will NOT pass for penalty but bid 2NT SAME thing @ IMPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Easy double, I don´t see why should we bid NT when ♠ is our shortness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
