It shows 24+ points and 3+ cards in all suits outside Hearts. I would prefer that it shows Spades. Now that I know what it actually shows, if I am dealt the West hand against robots I shall have to consider seriously bidding 1S on a doubleton Spade. As a non-psychic manoeuver, and notwithstanding that it keeps us out of Spades, not sure that I agree with West's 1S bid. But maybe not so bad.

I don't agree with double then bid your suit with your hand-likely to end in a difficult position even if the system allowed you could to bid it naturally. One- games is not likely with a range of 5 HCP hand in North that he passes. Two- penalty pass is unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Looking at the other auctions on this hand gave me a huge headache, and I couldn't even tell where to start in posting them... :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandayre Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I agree on all counts. This hand is just too good for a balancing jump overcall. I don't suppose 3S over 2D would have been natural either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
