Jinksy Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 AKJQJT9A874J3 Game all, teams, RHO dealer, the bidding goes like this: P 1C* 1H 1S**2H ? * 1C = 15+ any bal (without 5cM) or 14+Cs** Five+ spades, min is about 4HCPs We don't play support Xes (or whatever the relevant convention here would be) Do you bid on?

chasetb Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 2♠ is clear-cut, but I say no to 3♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I do bid 2S, but I'm tempted by pass, since I have a lot more defence against hearts than p might expect and he might well bid 3S or 4S over 3/4H expecting me to have less wastage in the heart suit.

whereagles Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Robson/Segal recommend pass + bid spades later on this sort of hand. I'm not going to do that here for one simple reason: I don't know responder's strength, so it's better to show right now I have a min strong club and leave level decisions to him. Hence, 2♠.
