Double ! Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 This hand is more than meets the eye at first. I admit that bidding 2NT either just didn't occur to me when I answered, or it seemed to be such a distortion. This seemed like a clear-cut 2 diamond bid to get more info from partner. The more I've thought about it, the more curious this hand became to me. One issue not discussed is how to reach a club slam if partner has something like K 5th of spades and K5th or KQ4th of puppy tracks (clubs). Since BBO Adv. plays wolff, what is 3C/2NT on this auction? I am assuming that 3D/2NT is just checkback. So, how will partner show the above (admittedly constructed) hand if opener rebids 2NT without going past 3NT? Just the same, if 3NT is correct contract, then 2NT does have the effect of likely right-siding the declarership. IMO, both 2D and 2NT have advantages and liabilities. At mp, 2NT is starting to look more interesting. Ho, Humhave a nice weekend everybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I prefer 2D now, very suit oriented hand and a free 1S is probably a little higher minimum than if LHO hadn't bid. I don't really want partner to pass 2N with 5 spades and a meh hand, and if we have a club slam 2D will make it a lot easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
