Winstonm Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Anything but 2S is simply trying to outguess the OP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2005 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I know a lot of people who would pass with 4 trump. Likely making as your hand takes only 1 trick.2♠ is really only choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely making as your hand takes only 1 trick.2♠ is really only choice. OK that's what happened, and at the table I thought it was just unlucky. But then I looked at the hand better and started to wonder how close it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 OK that's what happened, and at the table I thought it was just unlucky. But then I looked at the hand better and started to wonder how close it is. Not that close xxx, A1098, xxx, Axx would be a reasonable gamble, but against a preempt aces, kings and trump intermediates are key when you're not taking ruffs, as said above, you have one trick.

ggwhiz Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Yeah, no other choice and I've seen 2♠ go for a giant number at teams and be a push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 2S as I hate pass without better trumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnka447 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 2 ♠ even if you're playing Lebensohl 2 NT over Doubles of weak 2s. Playing Lebensohl, 2 ♠ shows a weak response and is not forward going, so it would be an underbid. But with only a 3 card ♠ suit, I can't see making the Lebansohl 2 NT bid, then bidding ♠ to show 6+ and ♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Pass would be tempting at matchpoints. At IMPs there's no serious alternative to 2♠ imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
