Guest Jlall Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 yuck...I'll vote for X and pull 2H to 2S... That auction is so bad its not even funny but whatever. BTW please note i dont think im showing spades and clubs...I could easily be 6313 for that auction and be protecting in case pard had a pen X. My logic(if you can call it that) is that I would hate to reopen with 2S/2N/3C since I have the wrong hand type. If I X maybe partner will pass or bid something other than 2H and i'll be in good shape (I'll bid 4H over a 3H jump). If he does bid 2H, I again dont want to bid 3C, i'll just bid 2S. It's MP, my spades are good, its the 2 level... heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike777 Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 X As is often the case X or cuebid is an answer, if not the correct one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Hmmm. Would double followed by 3C show this hand? If truly 5/5 or 6/5, reopening with a double is a poor choice, IMO. And pard should, I think, be bidding 2S with xx of spades and 4 hearts, maybe....? At the table? Double and pull to 2S. I'm chicken. :P WinstonM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanbari Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 X for me as well, if partner jump 3H, i am stuck, i may try 4C to continue. SHAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMetsch Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Tough, if I DBL and bid 2♠ over partners 2♥, then I am not showing my values. So I will bid 2NT to get my strength across.OK my stopper is bad, but I am balanced and NT is played from the right side :P . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr1303 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 When you bid 3C, you're showing a strong 2 suiter not suitable for a take-out double, on account of the fact that your hand might not be good for defence. Hence he was completely right to compete to AT LEAST 3S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence he was completely right to compete to AT LEAST 3S. You are sitting in pass out and you did just reopen the bidding.=> Taking / Borrowing a king from partner, take partners king away, you still think he has any right to make some noise with4-3-3-3 ??? Partner should be happy, that I have raised the level and shut up. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriorKnowledge Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I think you got the score you deserved 100% agree. xxx xxx Kxxx xxx, with the K in opp's suit wasted against partner's likely singleton or void, means you are competing to 3S with ZERO. This is such a lunatic bid, it is similar to reading one of those reports about someone dying from crazy and stupid actions and nodding your head when the report concludes, "Alcohol may have been involved."

Al_U_Card Posted June 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I accept blame for the balancing 3♣ bid. That being said, my temerity in not balancing with a double (pard would have bid 2S, I hope) due to my lack of H cards, I chalk it up to (even more) experience. My LHO held x, AQx, AJxxxx, AQx ...... RHO had JTxxx, Jxxx, x, xxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 If you don't like a take-out double, then rebid 2S. 3C is a hand that would have made a jump shift to 3C if that was available. The balancing notion of adding a K to your suit doesn't apply here, since partner is either a) trapping or B) broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
