Tonyda Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 I play 'step" after a reverse as showing a bad hand. So 2NT says my next bid is my last or I may pass your next bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 While partner did reverse, when he holds a 5=6 hand with decent to good suits, he needs nothing on the side. The comment I was responding to did not address the possibility of having the ♥A. While opener doesn't have to have anything outside the 2 suits bid, I wouldn't be surprised if he did have ♥A, nor would I be surprised if he didn't have ♥A. That's all I am saying. As it was, opener had ♥K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquahombre Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 very close call between pass and 4 clubs. I lean to 4 clubs. Why? because I go by general rule never lay down an 8 card suit in dummy. I don't think either contract is making but in clubs this hand is pulling some weight, in spades this hand gets 1 trick (a diamond ruff)against competent D. Oh and if pard bids 4d I will correct to 4s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquahombre Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 On reflection, Tramticket, Heart76, MikeH, and SMerriman are right :) And the last-named got it right at the table :) how do you figure 3s is making? heart out and spade return play the hand.
