Hanoi5 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 ♠A987♥xxx♦K7x♣K9x Red vs White your partner opens with a weak 2 in spades and they get to 4♥: 2♦-(Pa)-2♥-(3♥)3♠-(4♥)-??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Molyb Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 4♠ but it is close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 It seems partner has some strange 2S opener via multi. What would 2S opening have meant as opposed to multi? And now he bids 3S freely without anything known in responder's hand and at unfavorable colors. He must have one odd distributional thing; if he can be trusted at all, 4S should be automatic.

the hog Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 This depends on partner. I find the 3S bid bizarre opposite a sane partner. Playing with the given partner, who knows? I pass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 The two significant views seem to be: If partner does something strange, she must have a reason. or If partner does something strange, she must be wrong. I prefer to go thru life/Bridge with the first idea, until pard proves differently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 If partner does something strange, she must have a reason.Good point. The only plausible reason for bidding 3♠ in this auction but not opening 3♠ originally is that partner missorted his hand. He either found another A and K, or an extra spade or two. Likely, this makes 4♠ right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did overlook this scenario. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewj Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I would definitely bid 4♠ and would rather have bid something higher than 2♥ last time...assume 3♥ would be P/C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
