If you bid 1N, LHO Xes, P passes, RHO bids 2♠. 1NT and 3C for me. Don't think it's greedy unless i fear pd will be tempted to save me in 3D.

MrAce Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 a- 2♣b- Easy Pass If i overcalled 1 NT and LHO doubled, showing 9+ hcp, for some 10+, means pd is broke and we are VERY likely to end up playing this crappy hand from our own hand unless we get lucky and find 3-4 clubs with pd. But this will be washed by the hands that pd corrects to 3♦ or leaves us with shortness in clubs. Basically, you will bail -300 EVEN IF you score all your 6 clubs, you will have to find a way to make 2 tricks, by playing from hand when you have KJx Jxx K left. good luck with that.http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif But obviously, 3♣ bidders see something that I can not see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but are you *expecting* that to happen? Most of the time when you have a fifteen count, LHO doesn't have an X. Against that you have the obvious upside of a better score for making the 8 or more tricks, and occasionally 1N might stop them finding a ♥ fit that they'd scrabble into over 2♣, making you a few MPs even if it goes down.

jdeegan Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 To me the answers are obvious:a. 2♣b. Pass That said, overcalling 1NT the first time strikes me as a semi-reasonable way to 'shoot' if I really needed a board. It might actually work out. On the other hand a follow up of 3♣ over opponent's 2♠ just seems desperate. You might also 'shoot' with an initial super-heavy 3♣ preemptive overcall. Your chances of missing game are small, and the opponents may misjudge. It is probably safer than overcalling 1NT, but it is less disruptive.
