mfa1010 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Support with support the first time. I suppose pass to 3♣X was some kind of tactical effort to get them to underbid or something, but I don't really understand the bid and I don't like it. 4♣. Now we got, what we deserved. Forced to guess, I would try 5♣. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I would also ask myself why I didn't raise the previous round. I made my decision a round earlier it makes no sense to bid 5♣ now so I would pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Agree to bid 4♣ when I had the chance, and I'm not particularly fond of the 2♥ opening either. Neither is a hanging offense though. Might as well pass now, at least I have a defensive card. edit: oops the poll asked for expert opinion and I don't have one of those.

Please explain your reasoning. I'd like to assume that we had discussed the meaning of 3♣ here. What is our agreement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'd like to assume that we had discussed the meaning of 3♣ here. What is our agreement?At least 6 clubs, shortage in hearts. No specific agreement as to high card values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jallerton Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 OK, but is there an agreement as to whether 3♣ is forcing, invitational or a sign-off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hm. Not my agreement, so I'm not sure. I'll get back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I agree that failing to bid 4C was an egregious error. I pass now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Wouldn't redouble last round have shown CA or CK as Rozencrantz?Surely little need for another meaning is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually shows Ax or Kx, not genuine support as you have here. Using xx to show genuine support is fatuous and gives the opps more room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 If you didn't raise your partner on the previous round, you're posting this in the wrong forum... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
