mikeh Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'm not willing to specify a hand for partner, but I am willing to commit to a pass. Yes, on some hands consistent with the auction we might take 9 tricks before they take 5, but he has less than opening values, and I doubt he has 6 diamonds, tho 1=4=6=2 is possible.

PhantomSac Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I think 1462 would just reopen with 3D. 1453 seems more likely (trying to get to clubs, but not wanting to play 2N). Of course 1453 might pass 2N as we might be 4324 we don't need AJ9x of spades to bid 2N so I'm not sure what is percentage there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected, rightly or wrongly something like xQJxxAxxxxxKx Perhaps some would start 2♦ with this, idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that makes sense. I don't know tbh. Was thinking 6-4 either starts with 2D or balances 3D but I would def start with X with your example hand and then feel a little guilty about reopening with 3D since I could be much weaker.

PhantomSac Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 How about 1552/0553 type hands with like an 8 count? If a balancing 2N is natural, those hands have to double and bid 3D over 2N hoping to play 3 of a red suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bid 3♠ over 3♦ dreaming that pd has 4-6 type and that my red values are fitting perfectly. Now came 4♣ from pd.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 4 hearts and 5+ diamonds? In any case pass. Pard bidding sounds weakish. If pard did have a red 54 or 64 and a GF, he could have tried either 3♠ or 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 P has probably close to invitational values and feels3d might be safer than 2n if we have only one or evena speculative QTx? stopper. We have a wonderful fit in p long suit and almost alwayshave 2 spade stoppers while I heartily agree with the original2n bid anything but 3n here seems wrong (a smallish case can bemade for 4d trying for 5d at IMPs but I would save that forAxxx in spades not AJ98).
