MrAce Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 3♣ on any vul, any scoring. Opponents have 8 hearts, your side has 8-9 clubs, more than enough to bid 3♣ This also helps you to protect your ♥ K on the opening lead as well as putting their strong hand on lead.Despite the fact that your ♥ K is in front of opener, you still have decent values, ♥ K prevents them from using this suit efficiently for entries, creates problems on the lead. If pd bids 3♦ over 3♣ you bid 3 NT, you have enough values for it vs a strong hand that was too good to start overcall If pd bids spades instead, you have an easy raise.

luckyloser Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 how can you be sure to hold 8 cards in ♣? p has promised 3, not more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix214 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I think i will pass, partner should reopen most of the times if 2H is a trash raise, due to use having a possibility oh having a heart trapping. Over his reopen double i suppose you can bid 3C or 2S depending on your agreements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGF_Flame Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Pass for me at any vul.vul is critical on such decisions but imo this hand isnt enough even when nv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 id do 3♣ NV. hoping to push opp to 3♥. even though im not convinced we have 8♣. the hand doesn't have much prospects if partner doesn't have 4-5♣. So vul I pass too easy to go -2 or doubled -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 The only time I would think about bidding is Love All at MPs - then it is relatively close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 how can you be sure to hold 8 cards in ♣? p has promised 3, not more! I am so sorry, for some reason i see our clubs Axxxx. (A10xx makes it look longer than other 4 card suit Kxxx) Then my reply would make sense. Disregard my comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 how can you be sure to hold 8 cards in ♣? p has promised 3, not more! Because you have 4 hearts. Pard is like a 95% favorite to have 4144 or 4153/4135. Bidding 3♣ is only bad if pard happens to be 4153, and even then you might manage to scramble 9 tricks.
