Hanoi5 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 ♠Q9xxx♥7xxx♦A♣AKQ Mp's, All red (1♦)-Pa-(Pa)-1♠(X)-2♠-(Pa)-3♥(Pa)-3♠-(Pa)-? Would you bid game then or now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Molyb Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 didn't partner pretty much just decline a game invite? I would have bid 4♠ on my second round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I pass. I have a lot of losers here, and I don't see any reason why partner should cover them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 The 2♥ rebid makes it easier for LHO to find a trump lead. Also, with such a bad suit we don't want partner to upgrade ♥Qx. So I think you should just blast 4♠, or maybe make some generic game-try. Edit: maybe 2♥ was intended to inhibit a heart lead :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait ... :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 If we were going to bid game then we should have done it last time lest a slow 3♠ come back to us. So the question seems to be less about what to bid now si much as whether we have already made a mistake. Unless, of course, 3♠ did come back slow and this is an ethics question.

HighLow21 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 We should be in 4♠, but partner seems to be denying help in hearts. Thus wouldn't bidding 4♠ be anti-partnership? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Thus wouldn't bidding 4♠ be anti-partnership? Exactly. Trust partner to have only 3 trumps and a garbage raise or bid 4♠ last round if you want the partnership to last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
