EW were apparently playing a basic 2/1. Are you suggesting N should x and not bid 2c? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I think 2♣ is a fine bid, but as I have said so many times before, I have a lot of respect for 2-level overcalls. Therefore, I would have no qualms about rasing to 3♣ with the South hand. If we get doubled and go for 300-500, we need to talk with partner about overcalls at the 2-level (and higher) when both opponents are unlimited. 3♣ is not obvious for many partnerships, so it's a bit harsh to assign blame here. South gets 12½%, the rest goes to society and lack of agreements regarding overcalls. Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Roland is right that 2-level overcalls when both opponents are unlimited have to be very sound but, here, I think I have too much and I probably would have start with a double. :blink: Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 No blame. Underbidding can happen, especially at matchpoints when nonvulnerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I like a X with the north hand, is a bit good for 2C though that is reasonable. I agree with souths pass at matchpoints, but not at imps. Mainly a little bad luck, both partners were maximum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Isn't anyone blaming west for not passing or opening 1♠ like he should??? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 lol, the opps random bidding is not our concern :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 my first thought is to double with the north hand... after thinking further, i would double with the north hand.. how can partner ever know i'm this strong if i start with a (passed out) overcall?
