whereagles Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I would bid 3♣. A preemptive 4♣ is fine, but somewhat likely to push opps into a thin, but making, game. A tactical pass is another possibility, along with some "joke" like 2NT or 2♠ (lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endymion77 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 3♣ and pass 3♥. 4♣ is suicide, they'd always go for +200 and double after stopping short of game and I don't see how it makes unless partner has something that we'd hear about over our 3♣.

ggwhiz Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 3♣ then pass. At imps and even here in my partnership style partner has a pretty good hand to come in red like this with a crummy suit but going any higher is their job not mine.

wank Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 3h. partner overcalled vul against not on a pony suit at the 2 level. it means he's got a good hand. our clubs will solidify his. pre-empting past 3nt would be laughable.

My partner knows his hand, I don't have to tell him about that. When he finds out about my club support he wil bid 3NT if that is were we belong.

MrAce Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 If 2 NT shows a fit (which i play in this auction) and a hand too strong for simple raise and not good enough for cue, then i would bid it. If this is not available i would bid 3♣ but this is stronger than my usual simple raise i have to admit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 This hand is not too strong for a single raise. It is pretty much what a single raise should look like. I think 3♣ is clear. Other choices are far behind. EDIT: I have to admit I don't think much of partner's suit for his vulnerable overcall when I hold these clubs.

When the other guys have bid and raised we give up 2NT as natural, anyway. Another choice for 2NT might be too extreme in the other two suits for a Responsive Double.

HighLow21 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 If you go 4♣ over 3♥ chances are excellent you just got pushed and they're taking +200 or more. Partner hasn't much in clubs, but he rates to have some outside defense. Try to beat 3♥. And if you push them to a thin but making 4♥, woah nelly!
