Thiros Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I would bid 3♠ at the table, knowing full well that it could work out badly, so that I don't have to worry about partner driving to who knows where. However, if partner is AWARE that the range for a 4♦ bid here by us could include this hand, it becomes the superior bid. The first-rate partnerships have this covered in their expansive repertoire of situations discussed in advance (which, regrettably, has been hard for me to do). To illustrate the edge in the 4♦ bid when interpreted as intended, give partner a hand within expectation range, say, ♠QJx ♥AQJx ♦Kx ♣AQxx, and opener ♠Ax ♥Kxx ♦A10xxx ♣Kxx. Now 3♠ is going down on the singleton heart lead and 4♥ makes in neat fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
