helene_t Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Good question. I think I pass. If I am not able to pass in tempo I think I bid 3♦. Dbl could work but I would have to pass 3♥ then. 3NT is not terrible either. 4♣ (NLM) is quite bad, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmnka447 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm passing also. Bidding ♦ on A empty fifth is a huge leap of faith. Double has no answer for a ♥ bid from partner. NT is another step into the unknown. In 1st seat Vulnerable, I'd expect the preempt to be on a pretty decent suit. Preemptor has to be cognizant of the phone number potential of wild preempts when vulnerable. If they duck the first ♣ to you, you'd better be ready to run 8 additional tricks or it could get gruesome. Expecting responder to have a stiff ♣ so that clubs can't be run is a bit dicey. But the biggest problem is the unknown about what the person behind you holds. If it goes, 3 ♣ - P - P - ? and partner can find a call, your in a good position to compete.

jodepp Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Pass 3♣. 3NT might be more appealing if the clubs were Ax, so that at least I can hold up once. 3NT on subminimum values and Kx in clubs is just asking for a boot in the you-know-what. However, if faced with 3♣ then 4♣ by LHO I think I can try 4♦ safely. This has to be 'diamonds and a secondary major', doesn't it? At least this way partner with at least 4=4 in the majors can bid 4♥ as 'pass or correct' with at least a fair hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomSac Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 is this really a WTP I thought it was quite a tough desicion? Anyway I did pass [hv=d=e&v=b&b=10&a=3cp4cpp]133|100[/hv] and now? Not wtp at all. I would definitely strongly consider overcalling 3D, red at MP is so bleh though. But our hand is so good and its easy to imagine being stolen from via a pass.

manudude03 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Serves you right for not bidding over 3c read robson in the times today! You mean the column where when you double, you could be taken for 1400? Probably a good case for passing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinchy Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 3♦, or pass, depending on how weak 3♣ was (ask) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyC Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Tough problem. I lean towards 3NT but pass, 3D and X are all in the picture. This hand would make a good Bridgeworld problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Pass, a tempo. If you think too long, 3D. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
