dickiegera Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 [hv=pc=n&w=skt4ht73dt852ck98&d=e&v=b&b=10&a=ppp1c2d2h]133|200[/hv] Very good chance 2♦ is a five card suit. East did not open first seat. What should West do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 How can it be better to pass and make a WJO in diamonds with a chunky 5-bagger than open 2♦? Anyway, I bid 3♦, since unless partner is insane, he is more likely to to 4M 6D than be trying to go for 1400. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 The colors, shape, honours say no. The fit says yeah. Since you're asking I'm gonna meta-answer: Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akwoo Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Pass at IMPs, 3♦ at MPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 This isn't our hand, and we can't get in their way. In fact, raising diamonds might help them realize how well they fit. Lord knows I support with support with nothing often enough, but this isn't the hand for it. I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Pass. You're going no where, so why attract a bad lead from pard? It's true 3♦ is somewhat obstructive (it would take away the stop-asking cue, for instance), but I don't think that's enough for taking the risk.
