joker_gib Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 You have : (the kind of hands Roland gets when he is playing rubber bridge :) :blink: ) [hv=d=n&s=sxxxxxxhxxdqxcxxx]133|100|[/hv] Your partner opens 1♦, RHO passes, you pass and LHO balances with 2♣. Then your partner bids 3♥, to you : 1♦-P-P-2♣3♥-P- ? 1) What is 3♥ for you ? 1) what do you bid at IMPS, MP ? Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 partner has a good hand with 6 diamonds and 5 hearts. Maybe a void clubs since otherwise she might have doubled. Anyway, I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helium Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 3H show a strong 2 suiter and i raise to 4 harts. kenneth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Something along the lines of: x, AKxxx, AKJxxx, x. This is a dead minimum I'd say. A 7th diamond and even the ♥Q are possible, but not both. Pass, 4♦, 4♥ and 5♦ could all work depending on the form of scoring. I'd probably content myself with 4♦.

inquiry Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 1♦P-P-2♣2♥-P- ? Would show a great hand (I would correct to 3♦, expecting partner to pass. 1♦P-P-2♣3♥-P- ? (assume no unusual agreement on strong two suiter openers) shows a monster hand, that can win 9 tricks in hearts or 10 tricks in diamonds opposite a few fitting small cards in one of the suits. You have a great hand for this auction, the diamonds Queen is gold. I would bid 4♥ at matchpoints, at imps I would think about what is best, I wonder if 4♣ ask partner to pick between 5♦ and 4♥ (needs good hearts to pick hearts as with a random three hearts or two hearts to an honor I would raise hearts immediately. It is worth thinking about what 4♣ might should mean with no specific agreement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Must be a monster, since 2♥ is also strong. So, I suspect a near GF hand with 5♥s and 6+♦s. If he doesn't, I'd be quite disappointed :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 i would have responded 1S (yes im sure im in the minority lol). Anyways, I just bid 4D. They are going to have enough sense to lead a trump im sure, and as game is terrible opposite x AKxxx AKxxxx x simply cannot justify bidding it. I disagree with phil that x AKQxx AKJxxx x is possible. Following the yarborough rule surely pard would bid 4H with this hand. He can make game opposite 5432 432 432 432 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 4D Assume 3h= cannot make game if you have 5hcp and only 3 hearts and 2D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke warm Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 i bid 4D because i think he'd have opened 2C if he could (big 2 suiter for example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 1) Gameforce, 6-5, around +-16 HCP we try to avoid opening 2C / 2D with two suiter, it is possible, but if we have an excuse, we will take the excuse With 6-5 and less than 20HCP, partner can be sure, that an one level opening wont be dropped 2) 4H, were the money lies With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 1. A powerhouse (playing strength) with 5-6, not suitable for 2♣. 2. 4♦. My second choice would be 5♦. I will ignore hearts, because partner is likely to get tapped. xAKxxxAKJxxxx Now you need hearts 3-3 in order to make 4♥. If they are not, you will go for a phone number (the opponent with QJ9x will let you know). And with xAQJ10xAKJxxxx It gets even worse. Let's play where we have 8 cards between us.

jdulmage Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 You have : (the kind of hands Roland gets when he is playing rubber bridge :P B) ) Dealer: North Vul: ???? Scoring: Unknown ♠ xxxxxx ♥ xx ♦ Qx ♣ xxx Your partner opens 1♦, RHO passes, you pass and LHO balances with 2♣. Then your partner bids 3♥, to you : 1♦-P-P-2♣3♥-P- ? 1) What is 3♥ for you ? 1) what do you bid at IMPS, MP ? Alain In that auction, partner bids 2♥ to show a good hand, so 3♥ better be: "I have a bagger that can take 9 tricks, please bump me if you have a trick". I would bid it up, Q♦ opposite a jump reverse like that is the "MVC" - Most Valuable Card, hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
