mgoetze Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 "2/1 context" isn't really enough information, what's 1♠-3♣? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahydra Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 What do you call an 8-card suit? 3C now should normally show a weak hand with a long suit - though I'm not sure if things are different in 2/1 due to 1NT being wide-ranging. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandayre Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Agree with 1NT. At matchpoints Pass is a reasonable shot. At IMPS I bid 4C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhchung Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I would have game forced and probably slam the brakes and end in 5C-1. Or 2. Or 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 4c should be this now. obv it would be stupid to play it as a splinter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 If a direct 3♣ isn't invitational, then 1NT...3♣ usually is. I can live with calling this hand invitational if that will let me show my 8-card suit, so I bid 3♣. The tough decision will be next round, if partner accepts with 3NT I'll have to decide whether to pull to a suit contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 4c should be this now. obv it would be stupid to play it as a splinter It would be stupid to play it as a splinter but it would be less stupid to play it as a source of tricks + spade fit + not good enough to 2/1.

WesleyC Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Over 1S, I'd upgrade this hand to an INV single suiter with clubs (whatever methods you use to show that). Although it's a stretch on values, with spade tolerance and an 8c suit at favourable vul it puts the opponents under the most pressure.

wank Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 It would be stupid to play it as a splinter but it would be less stupid to play it as a source of tricks + spade fit + not good enough to 2/1. whilst we can have a slam with a non-gf opposite a simple rebid, it's massively odds against and for the 1 time you get to slam there'll be more times when you turn them off a club lead and thereby go off in a game you would have made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
