inquiry Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 [hv=d=n&v=n&s=skj32hqj32d5ckj32]133|100|Scoring: IMPBPO-003C North South 1♦ 1♥ 2♦ ? your bid as south. Submitted (modified) by Hannie[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 BPO-003C: 2NT Opposite a sound 1D opening as is normally used in 2/1 and K-S I'd be happy yo force to game. 12 opposite 12 (event 11 opposte 12 has great playing potential) However, earlier polls have clearly demonstrated that BBO Advanced players like to hear themselves bid regard of the stress this places on the rest of the system. Here I'm going to be forced to invite. I'm bidding 2NT and inviting 3N opposite a suitable max. Please note that 2NT is forward going and NOT an attempt to improve the contract. I'll happily pass with a 4=4=0=5 minimum and trust partner had his 2D rebid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 2NT 11 HCP and stoppers everywhere so quite a natural bid imo. Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 2NT. Inviational, altough I would prefer to have2 diamonds. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blofeld Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 2NT, though I was tempted to pass. But we could easily be making game if partner has a good hand for the bidding so far, so I can't justify a pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgr Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 2NT. One more ♦ would have been better, but it could well be 3NT if partner's ♦ are solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 if my 5 of diamonds was yet another 3 or 2, I might pass, but the 5 has convinced me that bidding is right :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochinko Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 2NT. For once, I'm not alone :) Petko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 My partner had this hand at the table, and I can tell you that the diamond spot is quite irrelevant. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 PassOut on that cold, lonely limb. I hope p would have opened 1nt with 14 hcp and 6D, semibalanced. Not the first or last time I miss NV IMP game with this hand type B) Opp's love to balance, maybe we can get another chance or crack them.

pclayton Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Pass. Total misfit - not sure about diamonds as a trick source and my intermediates aren't great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double ! Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I guess that justin would still be in the tank if the diamond 5 was the diamond 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikestar Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 An easy pass for me. 11 HCP but subtract at least a point for the sfiff which is always a liability in NT--here it makes it much harder to run partner's diamonds than if you had xx. So with at best a bad 10, pass is obvious--game is unlikely and partner's diamonds will pull more weight if they are trumps. Wouldn't surprise me if pass was the only plus score.

Walddk Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Very close between pass and 2NT. Pass may very well be the winner. I don't like 32, 32, 32 much, but you will probably see that when Ben decides to publish the panel's votes. Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 This is easy: I bid 1S. After the director is called, I change my bid to 1N, barring my partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 This is easy: I bid 1S. After the director is called, I change my bid to 1N, barring my partner. If only it was as easy as that. You can't do that I'm afraid. You will have to make a sufficient call, unless LHO accepts 1♠. If LHO doesn't accept, 1NT is not an option. Anything sufficient is (pass included), but then you are back at the 2-level. Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, it would not surprise you, when 3NT is making in comfort, after all opener may still hold a trash 16 count,given that a jump rebid american style, is much heavier than a jump rebid european style.

Winstonm Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 If only it was as easy as that. Oh, Darn! And it was Such a good plan. Put me in the pass category. I can't find sufficient reason to move if partner does not have a 3D call, but plenty of reasons not to bid after 2D: a) this may be our last chance to go plus; :unsure: we don't have a fit c) my spots are poor d) partner is trying as hard to get to game as I am - my hand will be a diappointment I think if I take further action. But I'd really rather go back and bid 1 1/2 N. ;) WinstonM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
