plaur Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 [hv=v=n&n=skj10963ha102d654cj&s=saq42hk5dq7cq7642]133|200|Scoring: XIMP1CL - 2SP - p - ?[/hv] BIL tourney. Another vul overcall situation. I am responder now. I think long then pass. I was thinking: If p doesnt have a 1-level overcall he does not have much besides spades so we wont burn a vul game- but then again there is no need to preempt further. How would you bid and why?

Free Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 When V vs NV, Ximps, 10 ♠s together and partner jumping to 2-level, I think it's an obligated 4♠ bid immediatly. If you're not sure, you can still invite, but pass is out of the question imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartA Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 4S. If we don't have a game, the opps would have something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaur Posted April 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 How do I invite? 3 spades is just further preempt, right? I think 2NT would be natural with no agreement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 I would just bid 3S. The hand is a lucky fitter...pard is 6331 with 3-3 in your 2-2s and also has the ace of hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2NT would be natural with no agreement? 3♣ is most known as invite, cuebid the opener's suit. With my f2f partner I play transfer advances, where 3♥ is invite with ♠ fit...

jdulmage Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 His hand is far too powerful to overcall 2♠ unless you have passed already. If he opens 1♠, you can find 4♠ easier, but in either case, a 4♠ call is fine from your hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Vul vs not this isn't a great jump overcall. I know a lot of good pairs that play them intermediate at these colors. If you accept that 2S is ok with this hand, you should also accept that KJT - 7th without the AH is OK. I would only raise to 3. On 90 percent of the 2S overcalls 4 won't have a play and we could well have issues in 3. My ODR isn't good, so the total tricks is probably off. Take away the minor quacks and give me a stiff and its 4S call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamaco Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 How do I invite? 3 spades is just further preempt, right? I think 2NT would be natural with no agreement? Over a wjo, I play the same as over a weak 2 opener (except for a cue). 2NT would be either Ogust or feature ask, whatever you use over an opener.-------------------- I would bid 2NT to find out whether overcaller has a max (about 9-11 hcp, 7 losers or so, at these colors), or a dead minimum.If he has a max hand, 4S should be a good bet at XIMPS.

Gerben42 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 I agree wholeheartedly with the 2♠ overcall, you are at unfavorable. As for south: Looking at two top honors in ♠ you know that * You have no spade losers* You have a 10-card fit, which is huge* Partner must have something good on the side or he has lost his mind at this vuln. My bid: 2NT ask for something and bid 4♠ after that (with reg. pd 2NT asks for singleton). P.S. I play intermediate at this colours but WJO was the agreement stated for this pair.

Fluffy Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 1♣-2♠-p-3♣p-3♥-p-4♠ Looks like the proper auction to me. Bidding just 3♠ is also a good option, but we are vulnerable!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
