Cyberyeti Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 It wouldn't allow me to bid 2♣ which is what I would actually bid, 1♠ actually shows spades for me, cheapest minor could be invented. Most people will I think bid 1♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted October 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 The problem is to beat the field that is getting +140. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenvic Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Ten 4th is a stopper right? at the table I'd try 1NT and then I'd redouble for rescue if they x. At imps I think I bid 1 spade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszes Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 1s I have a rotten hand and there is ZERO reason to consider any other bid. This especially true when thoughts of 2c or 2d RAISE THE LEVEL for essentially zero reason. Bidding 1n all too easily can land you in 3n where a xx (to run) is unlikely to help any. Not all TOX will work but at least try to avoid unnecessary damage when you have a poor hand. 1s 101n 22c/d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaitlyn S Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Sorry should had said -140, you beated the field.I was going to say, if the field was getting +140, I'd be calling the director to see if the board was fouled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'd bid 1 ♠. There's not enough for a 1 NT call and something has to be bid. 1 ♠ keeps it as low as possible and leaves you in position to pass partner's minor rebid should one be bid.
