Part 2 of the Further Misadventures of Rex and Jay

[microcap]

Here are Rex's own words in defense of the bid of 4♠ over opps 4♥.

"So you are telling me that with a hand like Kxxxxx x KQx

Qxx you are doing what over 4H if I pass? Qx is fair support. If I

pass are you

going to bid such a suit again at the four level?

 

Now you are going to say that with your actual hand you

will support

clubs as you know in MU I must have real clubs. But I

think that is

resulting. How can we find 6-2 fit if I do not support

with Qx? How

do we not get to 5C with inadequate values when there is no

spade fit?

Once a forcing and unlimited 3S call is made it is not clear to me to

pass this min with support this good. So put it out for

the follow up

question and lets see what they say."

 

From the horse's mouth LOL :rolleyes: :)

a pass would imply tolerance for spades (a doubleton). If you had spade shortness you would probably just X. If you had a minor 2 suiter you would try pass and pull to 4N (immediate 4N being keycard). If you had a club 1 suiter, you would bid 5C (or pass planning to pass a X and pull a 4S bid to 5C). Thus it is safe to bid on the assumption pard has a doubleton spade.

For me, I would make the Plano bid of 4S over 3H.

Over 4H, pass, and agree with Justin that this is forcing.

 

Am I forgiven, Roland?
