What on Earth do you do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 1) I assume North was not dealer, otherwise he should certainly respond 2♥ as a passed hand. 2) South should bid 4♦ (autosplinter) after the 1NT response. I hate the jump on a three-card suit. 3) I would open 2♣, but 1♠ is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Sorry, again I messed up the dealer. South dealt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 What about 2C-2D3S-3NTp, though I guess that should probably be "3S-<epic hesitation with much muttering and fiddling with the bidding box> 3NT"... ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMan Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I understand 3♣; that's the only suit where pard's holding matters, so throw it into the mix and see if he raises or something. Heck, if pard has ♠-- ♥any ♦any ♣KQxxx the last making contract could be 6♣, or 7 if he also has the ♥A. That's a bit of a long shot, of course. My strategy would probably be to just keep bidding spades till it goes all pass. EDIT: Never mind, PhilKing pointed out the flaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just tap your hand with a diamond and you can kiss the spades goodbye - which is precisely why 3♣ is so wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszes Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I see zero wrong with 1s followed by 3c followed by 4s. This sequencewill let p know to cherish cards like the club K and spade Q for slampurposes (else why not just bid 4s over 1n or open 4s). There is not much defense here and a preempt may work out better but at eqqal vulnerability the opps will have to go to the 5 level to outbid you andthat does not happen much. Going slow is the only reasonable way to plausibly get to slam w/o some exotic treatments. You are about even money to make 4 opposite a completely useless dummy(like this one) and it is hardly illegal for p to have a little something to help youevan 1 small spade increases your chance of making 4s to 75% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I also agree with 3♣. You are always going to play in spades and would like partner to value club honours and nothing less than an ace in a red suit. An auto-splinter may give partner the wrong idea about the worth of his heart holding and he may even try to play in hearts with a hand like the actual one.
