mike777 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I blame south....south has an easy pass not 2D which should promise more much much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 South 100%, how come that option is not available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm voting 50/50. I don't like 2D, but I don't like 4S either. This seems like just about the worst time to try for a 5-2 fit game. I would double 3C as North. It might still end up being bad, but if it does, then I blame south for the 2D bid.

nige1 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 A vote by the likes of Jallerton, LMilne, JLall, etc is probably more significant than other votes. Anonymous polls remove that useful information. IMO: South's 1♠ and 2♦ are pushy but OK in an aggressive style. Over West's 3♣, North might double. Even 3♠ would be an overbid. Hence, it's mainly North's fault. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wank Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 north 82%. there is a bid available to show points but no primary fit. that bid is double. 4 spades on a 5-2 fit with the long hand getting forced is bound to play badly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve2005 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I don't know it depends on your standards for taking a free bid opposite a passed hand especially if this is imps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve2005 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 wow many posters seem to feel 2d did not show a hand with extras.At matchpoints NV with a lot of partners sure that would be true.but with at least one partner I'm gonna be pushing for game, sure a 5-2 is ill-advised, but with this partner I've missed game too many times not to make some attempt with 10 points. I'm at least bidding 4♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played 2d for a hand with extras....only 5s was the least of my worries that many posters sight see my first post in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I just think 2d is so bad so misleading....it gives me hope that many of you posters think 2d is not horrible and misleading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 AKQxxx...xx...KQJx...x or closer the problem is you guys think south can bid ...free bid 2d on crap rather than extras...true extra north is a passed hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
