mcphee Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Not god enough to try leaping micheals imo so I would bid a simple 3C, might have a shout at bidding S later 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rank:1. 4♣ = ART 5+ ♣ & 5+ ♠ Leaping Michaels. Overbid but reflects the extreme shape.2. 3♣ = NAT 6+ ♣ but when you bid ♠ later, you promise only 4.3. 3♠ = NAT but a distortion.4. Pass = NAT.

DavidKok Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 3♣, intending to rebid 4♠. I think 4♣ showing ♣+♠ is a close second, but I'm worried partner will play me for more defence than I have (which is none) if the opponents compete to the 5-level.

Douglas43 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 4♣ Leaping Michaels for me. Pushy, but 6-5 and the clubs are superb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Way too unbalanced for me to choose Leaping Michaels - I don't want to play 4S when partner is 2-2 in the blacks. 3C is plenty enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL78 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 3♣, followed by 4♠ if the opponents bid to 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo1201 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 3C and the bidding isn’t over...4S next even if partner Xes 4H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted April 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Everything is so obvious now, I think I must have had a couple of clubs in with my hearts.

mikeh Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 I think you’re destined for disaster most of the time. East has a trivial 4H bid over the (normal) 3C overcall ( and over the egregious double) and south really can’t do much other than bid 6D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted April 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 We did have company.One pair played in 5C, one in 3nt !The rest were in some number of diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
