bridgeboy Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 All Vul, imps. You hold: AQ6A538AQ6542 Bidding went: 1S Pass 1NT(Forcing)2C 2S Pass Pass? LHO opened 1S, RHO made a forcing 1NT, you overcalled 2C (Comments on this?) LHO rebid 2S passed to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I throw in the towel - fully realizing if pard has perfect cards we are gin for 3N. Too much downside on this misfit for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 3C for me. I got extras and pd should be short in spades. Pass is wimpish :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 PASS. I have had enough. I already showed a good hand by overcalling at red, and the quality of the club suit is nothing to write home about. The ♠Q is not the greatest value either. Finally, I can't be sure that we have a fit. Partner can easily have some length in spades. The worst but possible scenario is 3-4-5-1. I am happy to defend.

pbleighton Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Pass. I would bid 3C white. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Pass. Pard didnt X 2S or bid 3C so I don't think we're likely to be missing anything. If I bid 3C and got Xed i would !@#$% my pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 3C, maybe they catch me often enough,that I will learn the meaning of the GreenCard, if I ever will play for money, this couldbe an expensive enterprice. I just want to play that, but would be happy,if somebody gaves me the 10, 9, 8 in clubs,maybe only 2 of these three cards. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Pass, already shown a good hand with ♣ and I don't have any extra's (3 aces but ♠Q seems useless) Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytoox Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 pass without confidence this is my feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Pass. Echo the feelings of those who lack confidence, but 3C is asking for the axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double ! Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 another vote for pass. spade queen of questionable value, no evidence that opps have fit, my 2-level overcalls tend to be sound (usually 6-bagger), and I have a partner who heard my bid and just might have said something else with support or some decent cards.2 & 3NT seems rather unilateral imo. BTW: where are the red cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless you and don't disappoint. We would love to have you come by. Trixie I think you are right on, Trixie. I have found that asking myself "would you do that if you were playing for money?" has saved me from making plenty of decisions that I would have ended up regretting over the years. Perhaps needless to say, I would Pass. Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgeboy Posted April 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Thanks all for replies... Here is the actual hand although it doesn't prove anything... [hv=n=sjhk9874dqt764c73&w=skt98752hj2dakct8&e=s43hqt6dj9532ckj9&s=saq6ha53d8caq6542]399|300|[/hv] 3NT, 4H gd chance. so +200 against 2S isn't too satisfactory :rolleyes: Anyway, I'm convinced Pass is right in the long run. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Nth could have doubled 2S for takeout. Passing on a 5-5 shape seems timid when pd has ventured a 2 level vul overcall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Nth could have doubled 2S for takeout. Passing on a 5-5 shape seems timid when pd has ventured a 2 level vul overcall. I completely agree Btw, I would probably pass as well with the South hand in this bidding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all! 3C=or +1 is no better than +200.:) I doubt anyone can find 4H in the context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytoox Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Nth could have doubled 2S for takeout. Passing on a 5-5 shape seems timid when pd has ventured a 2 level vul overcall. Only if you explicitly agreed with pd to play it as t/o. Without discussion it should be for penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 blah blah blah, North could had doubled 2♠ :-(, blah blah blah. Still not a clear bid for anyone, you can never guess all of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
