Hanoi5 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I forgot to explain 2 Clubs shows 18-20 with a one-suited hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Just bid 5♦ immediately. Invariably, the ox on the left just trots out their suit at the five level, which is exactly what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 whats 2♥ by opp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Just bid 5♦ immediately. Invariably, the ox on the left just trots out their suit at the five level, which is exactly what you want.So, he would be an oxy moron? BTW, I would bid 5D over 2H also...but not positive it is a sacrifice. Certainly am not fond of 3D, then 5D, with any holding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 This can easily go for 800. I'll just pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhm Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Just bid 5♦ immediately. Invariably, the ox on the left just trots out their suit at the five level, which is exactly what you want.Only true in a weak game.But I agree, if you are tempted to bid 5♦ now, you should have done it on the previous round.

aguahombre Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 This can easily go for 800. I'll just pass.I (perhaps falsely) assumed partner's 2D bid to look different than your partner's 2D bid in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Certainly the opps are in a GF sequence after 2♥ on this auction. I am a very strong believer in either bidding 5♦ over 2♥ or never bidding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Are you saying he wouldn't overcall on say xxxxKJTxxxQxx 3♦ or pass, never 2♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 2♣ = I wanna play 4M. How do you feel when you want to bid 4M but opps bid 5m before? well that's what should had happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Are you saying he wouldn't overcall on say xxxxKJTxxxQxxYes, at RED, that is exactly what I am saying. 2D takes up no room; Partner knows Opener will be bidding 4M; and, there would be no earthly reason to bid 2D except to encourage partner to bid at the 5-level.

billw55 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 whats 2♥ by opp?It appears natural, but agree I want to know, and would ask immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Well, LHO has a strong 2 and RHO bid over 2♦... since I got 10, I don't think pard can have much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pretend you are playing 1$/2$ poker and raise the size of the pot. Nobody playing "Benji" will come up with the correct counter (if there is one) more than one time in two.
