mike777 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 prefer 3s to promise shortness if allowed so if 2c is an option prefer that...but I see it is not an optioneven better if shift to 2c shows extras---------------- agree if not 3s is reasonable option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 3s There is little to no benefit to 3s showing unspecified shortness and it takes entirely too many hands off the table. This is a very reasonable 3s bid. Good texture in spades and there are far more ways to make 4s than 3n. It is not just game that is important. Sometimes (like 100% if I am your partner) I will be unable to accept your invite and 3s will most likely be far less disatrous than 2n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is what should be the distinguishing feature between 2NT and 3♠ in this sequence. Rainer Herrmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jodepp Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 If Bart is not on the CC, 3♠ stands out. I don't think a red-blooded bridge player could bid just 2♠ on these cards. If memory serves, didn't the Italians of the Blue Team era rebid 2NT on hands like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zillahandp Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 None of the above what is competition how are you doing in marginal situations all these things matter, board one pairs or temas 3s stay with the room otherwise I could bid 2/3hts 2c 2d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
