gszes Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 If partner is suddenly making a game try (which way to thepartnership desk) then my pass is going to look worse than stupid. If p is offering analternative to play I think 3d may be our last chance toplay this hand undoubled making or (probably not). I haveless than zero desire to bid game with this collection andpass here caters to those situations where p felt "compelled"to raise our hearts with honor x. Opps are bidding an awfullot with less than half the deck and missing the club QJ sohearts are probably breaking badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 3♦ shows a hand that wants to compete with three hearts and typically five diamonds. We're known to have a heart fit, but our diamond-fit may well be only 5-2. Hence I bid 3♥. That may not be making, but it hasn't been doubled yet and we're non-vulnerable.

r_prah Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 With poor hearts and the QJ doubleton of clubs, even thinking about 4♥ is an overbid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
