Cyberyeti Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Depends on your overcalling style, for us, the non exclusive 2♣ over 1♠ shows a bigger hand than it does for most people and the E hand is well worth 2♥ or 2N. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinksy Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Vul over vul with a trusted partner, I'd prob venture 2N on E's hand (I don't like 2♥ with a small XX in ♣s, where W's liable to return). On somewhere like BBO, I'd prob just pass and stay fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 East has gotta bid here. 2NT looks clear and West has the world's easiest 3NT bid. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my style, W underbid and his partner didn't go on further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I don't see anyone passing here. I would bid 2NT and think it is clear cut. Passing is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberyeti Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 In my style, W underbid and his partner didn't go on further. So you have to double on this hand ? how are you going to like the auction going 1♠-X-3♠-P-P or possibly worse 1♠-X-3♠-4♥-P ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 East has a pretty clear 2 NT call. West has a made 2 level vulnerable overcall which ought to show some reasonably decent cards. As it turns out, West has a good hand bordering on a hand where you double first. But I think concerns about the type of bidding problem Cyberyeti cites tips the balance toward a simple overcall rather than a double. If West has less, it still should be enough for 2 NT have a decent play. 2 NT seems as good a spot as any to play given East ♠ holding unless West has bid on nothing but junk.
