1) what now? 2♠ 3 card raise, pass or other?

 

 

if you bid 2♠, it goes pass, 5♣ exclusion from p. If you give an honest answer, 5♥, 1 keycard outside clubs, partner raises to 6. If you have agreed to play void showing responses to exclusion, you're very very clever.

 

If you pass, it goes 2♣ on your left, 4♦ from partner, pass. You might find you're lacking a call to describe this hand. Your go anyway.

 

 

 

 

as you see i attempted to use the spoiler thing. obviously i failed.

It's

 

not hidden

 

Edit: I thought East opened 1♥ not south.

Probably 2 spades. Vulnerability is temping but partner can have a 9 count making us cold for a grand.

I would pass for sure, then WTF do I know?, at least I guess the spade lead for a ruff won't happen, but it is impossible to know what partner has in hearts vs diamonds.

 

Curiously the hand could be a 5/7 hand as partner partner might not be able to lose a quick heart trick (spade ruff) nor a late heart trick (♦A). All in all I bid 5♥ which looks like asking for good trumps. If partner happens to bid 6♣ over it I will bid 7.

I'm not sure what I'd bid here.. a (somewhat) unilateral 4♥ is probably the percentage bid. I might just do that, on grounds that "WTF do I know?" http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif

I clicked only once, I swear!!!

1. Pass

2. 6♥, cuebidding will not help due to the lack of space and the fact that partner will assume ♦fit rather than ♥fit. Hope the suits break badly so 7 doesnt make.

Two posts with different content created by one click is intriguing. I guess I could have two replies ready and click both in a brief interval, but if you're being level with us, what was the content of your intended one post ?

 

I guess the answer to the OP is to bid 2♠ and pass at the same time... :P

the 1s overcall has severely diminished my hopes for a grand on this hand

wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much risk of 7h going down on a spade lead

but I am still completely unwilling to pass and hope to somehow play 1sx.

 

2c appears somewhat pleasing but can create nightmares if p has clubs so

for now a

 

2s

 

bid and see what happens next.

 

OK after the spoiler I am still too concerned to try for 7 and the exclusion

call has only made my hand worse. I would be happy to just bid 6h over the 5c

bid (and hope p is not too unhappy with my choice to take over the bidding when

they thought they were captain) and if we make 7 anyway I will be surprised.

Trying to dream up what kind of 67 hand p would have and not open 2c:)) all of

them should have play for 6h with only a few having enough for 7.

 

Deep down I would not be shocked at all to find out the 1s overcall was a psyche.
