cargobeep Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I don't know Butler scoring, but given the bidding, 4♥ seems like a huge favorite. Even if partner has a 6-high Yarborough, we're still a favorite to make. With the 3rd-seat opening, and lack of bidding by oppponent's partner, game seems even more likely. I'd probably try to make sure partner actually has 4+♥, stopping in 3♠ if things seem ugly. Lacking any way to do that, I'd just go 4♥ and hope for the best. Maybe we can even make a doubled game.

Edited because I didn't read the auction correctly: IMO 3♣ = 10, 4♥ = 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I would like to suggest spades as trumps in case partner is 3-3 in the majors, but I don't find a sensible way to do so, bidding spades followed by hearts sounds like 6-3 or 5-3 rather than 5-4 for me. So 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
