whereagles Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 seems like opps are game on with 20 hcp and are about to miss it. PASS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 4C Too dangerous to try x since we would hate dia bids and not even be surewe do not hate heart bids (immediate pump in spades). Hand is just too good to pass and it is extremely reasonable for p to be short in spades and maybe evenraise us to 5c (or bid 4h which we would then like a ton more) and we shouldhave no troubles if p were to bid 4d or even (very unlikely) 5d. The 4c bidis also a decent lead director should the opps somehow decide to continuebidding spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMoe Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'd pass. Partner rates to have 1♠ card at most here. RHO can be anywhere from 0 to a bad 13 or so.3 small ♠ and 3=3=2=5 shape are unappealing even with 16 HCP. The shortage of Aces (relative to quacks) is also a concern. Besides, partner still has a bid left. If pard holds 9-10 HCP and 1=4=4=4 (1=435) I expect a balancing bid... If none is forthcoming I can hope for a small plus on defense.

Lord Molyb Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 probably 4♣? But I'm not entirely sure that's reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
