Too good support for C to show a red 2 suiter. E should bid 3C, playing Lebensohl this shows some values but is non forcing. 3H, 4C and probably 4S next. Can E bid the slam? I don't really see it. I'd sign off in game as E and leave it there as W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 It seems inconceivable that South would pass here. Is a more normal start to the auction not (2♠) - P - (4♠)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing that E-W did not have any agreement about a 2NT advance for example - am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see what was wrong with Leaping Michaels... do you really want partner to convert a double of 2♠? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly, I doubt a pair not playing Lebensohl and that would sell out to 3♠ have the ability to use LM with any confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinksy Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 West's hand doesn't look like a GF to me, and E's hand looks like a negative, so bidding this with myself it would go (2♠) P (P) X / 2N 3C/ P. Well-passed, south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
