badderzboy Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 [hv=d=w&v=n&n=sq1065hk10daj5ckj83&w=sa3hqj75dq8ca10762&e=skjh6dk97642cq954&s=s98742ha98432d103c]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] In our bidding W....N....E....S1♣...p...2♣...? I was South and bid 3♣ Michaels showing 5/5+ in majors.My partner bid 4♠ and played it well to make? (1)Was I too light (in hindsight I think I was) and what difference would it make if opps were Vul and we N/V? (2) Would u dbl with North's hand over 1♣ - I personally won't given the clubs, HCP and shape and what do I do over a 1♥ response! (3) If North Dbls for takeout if S/W pass over 2♣ what do u bid?

Fluffy Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Decision is close, I would had passed but ♣ void heavilly suggests it will be passe out if you don't come in now. North's possible bids over 1♣ are pass best, next 1NT, next 1♠, double is not even an option imo. Over a double from North I would bid 4♥, 4♣ is close, but the spade suit is so bad to be suggested to be played in when you know you have ♥ fit.

pbleighton Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 No, bid your shape. No. A little stronger and 1NT is the bid. 3H. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 according to klinger, the north hand is just a tad shy of a t/o double... since there is no bid to make, i'd pass... i think your 3♣ bid was just fine (you came alive with 6/5)..

mr1303 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I'm going to pass with the S hand, since I think far too often you'll give too much information about the shape of the hand to help west play a 3NT contract. However, I'd also overcall 1NT with the S hand 1NT, since I like the 10s, and everything seems to be working. If N doubles, he passes after a 1H, or a 2H response and apologises to his partner for being an idiot If N doubles for take-out, he bids 3C, and raises either major to game, over 3NT he bids 4H, and over 3D he bids 4H and is worried. Incidently, I think the E hand is a lovely limit raise of clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 I'd upgrade the North hand and make a 1N overcall. That KJ8x of clubs is nice. Certainly we'd all overcall 1N with AJ8 of clubs? Then; whatever you have to show a 5-5 with the south hand; I like a skip to 4♣ myself. Any action over 2♣ is risky, but I might try 2♠ (not 3♣, which courts disaster at IMPs).

luke warm Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 yeah, 1nt overcall is certainly a possibility.. so either pass or 1nt, but definitely i'd not double Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 With the South hand I'll bid 2NT: any 2 suiter (usually lowest 2). With the North hand on heavy days I might bid 1♠, but never 1NT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
