uva72uva72 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 My link IMPs, ACBL robot individual Since BBO seems to lack either the ability or the inclination to fix the oft-reported problem with this sequence (North has no way to bid hands of 6 points with 3 ♠s or 6-9 points with 2♠s) I am here reporting this hand only to highlight North's puzzling decision to bid 2 ♠ over South's 2♥. Given that North does not have the hand specified for a 2♠ bid and has found a great landing place in 2♥, why the false preference? And why does North's hand suddenly get better for play in ♥s when South shows values in the minors by bidding 2NT? For the record, of the 33 participants, 5 opened this hand opened with 1NT - only they were permitted to play 2♥. In addition, 2 of the 14 participants who did not make a game try over North's 2♠ made that contract. Two additional participants passed North's forcing NT and were allowed to make their contracts (down 5 is the result on other-than-ridiculous defense).
