mgoetze Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Good poll format. Even better if it weren't anonymous. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszes Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 rats if this wasn't anonymous we would have a great tool for looking for future partners (ie those that agree with how we think no matter good or bad). Anyway I am one of those that looks at this problem and wonders what in the world anyone hopes to accomplish with 3c that makes it worth the monstrous risk. Rho is limited only by their initial pass and they may be strong enough to bid 3n. Even if rho is weak and the opps are headed to 3d the suit appears to be breaking poorly. 3c indeed seems like a reasonable lead director but the risk for this benefit is huge at these colors. Opps playing 3d might be a great board for us (even better if they play 3c undoubled of course) We have a weak 2 bid that will have zero preemption and is being made after the opps have exchanged considerable information and at unfavorable. My guess is those that bid 3c do so because it is more fun to bid than pass. I would rate 3c under these conditions as a 3 at imps closer to a 1.

benlessard Posted December 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Responder would need both minors to bid 3NT here wich is highly unlikely. I also believe that lead directing is not a good argument since the responses are usually something like. 2NT = I prefer D3C = i prefer clubs or 2NT= no 4m3C= 4C3D =4D wich mean that its responder who will declare most 3D contracts wich mean that you will be on lead most of the times.
