eagles123 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 yes I'd balance with 2 spades, we're vul at imps both opps are limited and we've got an undisclosed opening hand with a good 5 card major Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 pass cruddy heart holding and I am not going to win the match on this board by balancing but I certainly could lose it too much risk too little reward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhchung Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 The 2♥ is a transfer to 2♠ reward goes to Jinksy? :) I would pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echo25 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Most certainly it has to be 2♠ East denied a 4 card [spades suit with his1NT response and both opps have shown to be limited. Part scores must be contested They are limited - by 14+10 points. W denied nothing. 6h+4s is possible. I could risk 2s in nv, or MP, but now it's a great way to write down -500. Qxx in hearts is useless for spade game. If partner has 3 hearts without ace, we are quickly loosing 3 tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 2♠. I'm not interested in losing imp matches by 6-7 imps at a time and it will often score my Q♥ against 3 of them that I won't get by passing. My pard often leads a trump if I pass here as well.

Trump Echo Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 I would balance with 2 ♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkham Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 There is a risk of a big penalty but that is balanced by all the small gains. I'm going to go for it and bid 2♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Should have bid first time 2s but a bit late You have a 5 card suit and 11+ hcp but bidding 2♠ R/W with this 5332 hand previous round, would probably be a very bad call. (imho 5332 hands shd not make 2 level overcalls at all, unless they are too strong to pass and/or suit is terrific.) I would be unhappy if it is doubledI would be unhappy if it is passed out.I would be unhappy even more if pd raises (and this is assuming he made a good judgement by not raising to 4) Back to OP, I am a very aggressive balancer. But with this trash+colors+it being teams+Qxx ♥, I am not gonna risk anything and would pass, but balancing is reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
