the hog Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 1H. If pd bids 1S I will bid 2H, if 1NT I will bid 3H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I think we had another topic similar to this in the past. On that topic double jump in a major suit over take out double by pd was asked. It is pretty common among players to play it as; a-preemptiveb-invitational with 5 cards I like preemptive and kinda like a picture bid, 6 card suit very weak hand. So I would bid 3♥ with this. I would not do it with a pick up pd though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I might agree with the WJS idea but, since there is a prettygood chance the hearts are not splitting favorably, I wouldprefer a bit more internal solidity to my suit to make that bid. Here it seems the safer bet is a nice simple 1H which maintains a great deal of flexibility and if we can latercompete to show our length p will know we have a somewhat poroussuit since we failed to do a WJS right away.

hrothgar Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 In my regular partnerships, 2♥ would be fit showing (even over a 1♣ opening) Something like ♠ 873♥ AQT92♦ 7♣ KJT3 would be prototypical This forces me to bid 1♥ with this hand. (Even if I wasn't playing fit jumps I'd still bid 1♥) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrothgar Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Richard, pd did not open 1♣, he doubled. Oops Thanks for catching this. Mark me down for 3♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I am one of those who play the 3!H bid as weak with 6 hearts. I see it described as preemptive, but I don't think of it that way: I think of it as descriptive, since I am expecting a fit and I am really helping partner to count winners. If he has, for example, AKx in hearts, he can expect 6 winners in trump and looks to see if his hand offers a play for 4 more, without expecting any help from me. This hand is close, but I would prefer to bid 1♥, I think because of my spade holding, altho this is more a 'gut' reaction than a reasoned one. Were partner to rebid 1N, I would bid 4♥. We would have at least 23 hcp, and the great bulk of the cards are sitting over the defensive strength, and just inviting game seems too weak. Over 1♠, I invite via 3♥.

dickiegera Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 so after 1♥ he'll bid 1N (I can't imagine bidding 1♠) and I bid 4♥...which I think has decent play on the auction....how does it do? lose 2 hearts and 2 spades.

whereagles Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 how many hearts? why, the appropriate number of them, of course! (1 or 2, according to your agreements) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
