Would you have done something else earlier? If you x, it comes back to you: - - 1♣ 1♥P P 2♣ xP 2♦ 3♣ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I would double and (spoiler alert) suspect this could be a lead problem against 3♣ smashed by partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence you should probably overcall 1♥, then double opener's 2♣ rebid (As Diana_Eva did). When partner bids 2♦ and opener raises himself to 3♣, pass seems sensible, although you might be tempted to double again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 MP the risk factor is ONE board not the entire match. That leaves many options on the table that might normally be ignored. Hard to let the opps play 2c at MP. I would overcall and then x over 2c with the intention of pulling a 2d bid by p 2h. This should allow them to picture your hand almost perfectly since you failed to use Michaels the first round. If rho bids 3c over (partner's inevitable) 2d I think pass is a reasonable choice given that we might already be better off than we were at 2c. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'd x. There's too much chance of us having 4♠ to go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm in agreement with the posters who would double now and pull 2 ♦ to 2 ♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
