Jinksy Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 This was actually our opps' auction, but I had a lot of sympathy for it. I don't know exactly what their system over a 1N overcall was, so I've made two polls, one for our system, one for the possibility that they didn't have any relevant C-showing bid.

I strongly doubt it.. Only thing that comes to my mind, IF S passes 1♠ and IF W bids 1 NT intending to show weak hands with long hearts later, then perhaps we can settle in ♣ partscore in some competitive auction or sell out to their 2-3 ♥ if we decide not to enter to bidding.

neilkaz Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I would expect to have the same auction in my partnerships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 So would I. The dodgiest action is the 1NT overcall; 3NT looks completely normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I suppose there would be a different thread / ATB if the bidding went: 1♠ p p 2♣3N ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
