the hog Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I am tempted by 3NT but this could be very stupid. I will bid 3S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lycier Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I bid 3nt,it is hopeful to get 9 tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I play 3♠ stronger than 4♠, so i would bid 4♠. This shows a 7-8 card very good suit + a few values, if any, on the side, which i have. 3♠ in my own world/mind shows 6+ very good suit, at least semi solid, and a lot of side values and forcing to game.

jmcilkley Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I presume the 2d opener is a weak 2 in diamonds. I wouldn't bid 3nt with 6 pretty solid spades and a worthless doubleton in hearts. Nor would I double - I don't want my p to think I might have 4 hearts. My vote is to bid what you think might make and for me that is 4s. Partner will know that I'm expecting a couple of tricks from his hand and if he has more he might go on higher. 3s might show a stronger hand being forcing. My worst hand was this one I think.

mcphee Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I hate to make a bid that could result in a ridiculous score. 3N strikes me as that sort of bid here. Mark me down for a simple 2S, I doubt the bidding is going to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark me down for a simple 2S, I doubt the bidding is going to die.I agree with Bobo here. 2♠ is my only bid unless I play hero bridge. My partner is not a passed hand and does my hand say any more than 2♠? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 3♠ and 4[p] led to minus very quickly, at the other table 2♠ led to 3NT which is very interesting. [hv=pc=n&s=sakqt963hj2dk65c2&n=sj2hkq83dt93ckj93]133|200[/hv] Sorry I forgot about ♥J on the original post, against 3NT LHO will lead ♦Q, RHO encourages.

rhm Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 If you duck LHO will hessitate a bit and lead a low clubIf East has the ♣Q you probably lose 5 tricks no matter what you do now. (unless East has ♣Qx)So play West for the ♣Q and insert the ♣J. If this loses to the ♣A East can either cash his ♦A or develop a second club trick by returning a club without cashing ♦A. However, if he returns a club he loses the ♦A unless East has ♣ATxx, which is unlikely. (Do not tell me that East will duck with the ♣A, which would be annoying).

Fluffy Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 So if RHO wins ♣A and plays a club to the queen you are playing LHO to have ♣10, doesn't that mean that you should play ♣9 from dummy?, may that comes down to determine wha tis more likelly, if LHO underleading ♣AQ or RHO ducking ♣Axxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Well, the simple line is to play w for the stiff d and 2 bullets. This is not unreasonable. Would east really open 2d with 6d and 2 aces. So you need to win the first d and pull a heart in this layout. Having ducked the d I rise c king, if east has the q I lose 2c, 2d and a h. I now run 7 s and see whatever By the way, do some play 3s as forcing here? Weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAce Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 By the way, do some play 3s as forcing here? Weird! Yup, i do. You have 2♠ overcall which is NF but can be upto 18 hcp for some, you have double and then spades which is 17+ hcp but also NF. I do not need another NF bid tbh. When you place 6-7 semi solid spades in a hand with a lot of side values it is usually close to 2♣ opener if not better than minimum 2♣ opener. Unless of course you are suggesting those hands should start DBL, which is a very bad idea imo to start dbl when your strength is mostly due to your shape and solid-semisolid long suit rather than defensive strength incase pd may pass the dbl. I see this bid similar to leaping michaels (which is also GF) but 1 suited 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
