(OBS: MP).Lead ♣Q ("highest in partner's")! Thanks from Niels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 The hand is very good in support of spades. Just pop up the 2NT relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nielsfoged Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 The hand is very good in support of spades. Just pop up the 2NT relay.I would have made the 2NT relay in IMPs particularly after partner's 2nd hand red vs white - in MP I am not so sure (I have a few scars already from partner's 2♥ knife, and from my own joggling with chainsaws when being declarer). So how do you play 4♠ (and/or 3♠)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I understand what you mean. 2♦/♥ for the majors is probably one the most abused conventions out there. As to the play, take on dummy, ruff a diamond and take it from there, regardless of being 3/4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogs Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I understand what you mean. 2♦/♥ for the majors is probably one the most abused conventions out there. Yeah, what's the range for 2♥? Opposite a normal vulnerable flanney opening South has a 4♠ call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opposite a normal vulnerable flanney opening South has a 4♠ call.Sorry all, if stating the bidding confused my (sole) aim of this post. Including the bidding wasn't meant for discussing the 2♥ opening and how to respond, but simply how to make the best declarer play in 3♠/4♠. Anyone (else) who want to explain their choice of setting up a particular red suit?/Niels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 There's really not much into it. The position is very symmetric, so I just try and setup the stronger suit, diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
