Fluffy Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 support with support, it is probably a doublefit hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 They found an 8 card fit, it may as well be 9 card. And dummy will hit the table with a club void or at least stiff. I am scared to pass this tbh, especially if they have 9th trump. It gets interesting though, i mean what to bid if i am not passing. Both 2NT and 3♦ has very bad scenarios i can easily think of while other one is much better or even cold. Even a 3-3 spade fit can be a good spot to play at 2 level, unless the amount of JackD in my blood is making me say silly things :) I would bid 3♦ at the table i guess.

jdeegan Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 :P -You are entitled to get an explanation if RHO takes 2♣ as delayed Michaels. Sounds to me more like clubs - LHO passed over 1♣. Pulling seems OK. A 20-20 HCP hand with an 8+ card ♥ fit for the opps. Why not pull to 2♠? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not pull to 2♠?Partner's 1♠ denies four spades, so RHO probably has five spades if not six. It is close to passing but it is dangerous if partner has wasted values in spades, so simple 3♦ from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I like 3C. I have shown 11-14 bal, now I show real clubs.Partner should know 3D is ok if he has C-single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akhare Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 3♦...2N is possible, but I wouldn't consider it unless playing MPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 2♥ has gotta be odds on to make, unless opp really unlucky. at imps not chancing.i vote 3♦ sure 8 card fit, hopefully make or -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I've changed my mind on this one - I was having a bad day when I answered the first time. Pass and collect 500 or 800. LHO should be 2416, therefore partner is 3352, and RHO is 5440. A low trump from Axx will lead to a bloodbath. Tell me I'm wrong! Meh, changed my mind again. I think dummy's spades may set up - 3♦, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdano Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Do you play:1♣ pass 1NT passpass 2♣as clubs?This auction is not the same as the auction in the original post. I would think responder in our auction is much more likely to be 3352 or similar than someone bidding 1C-1NT in standard. In any case, if I pass over 1♣, I certainly do not have a hand that would want to show anything resembling takeout or a two-suiter not including clubs over 1C 1S* 1NT.

gnasher Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 2♣ was natural. Sorry I didn't say so in the original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think 2N will be easier to play than 3D, seems like LHO will have tough defensive decisions and we know a lot about their hand, and hearts are breaking 4-4 anyway. I'm concerned about a trump promotion beating 3D, which won't be hard to find at all with this dummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
