smerriman Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Double seems normal. 4♥ not so much, though I'm not sure why South would have bid 3♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilowsky Posted January 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 What kind of North hand would bid 2♥? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 2♥ shows 10+. Double shows exactly 4 hearts, or a hand with longer hearts that is too weak to bid 2♥. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepossum Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 I can't remember the HCPs for a double but it seems a shame not to show hearts somehow.Double. 2H. Don't know. I would consider either I think. Maybe pass but that seems a shameIts not the best hand but 2H isn't a lie is it over interference. Its not GF. Free bid??Depending on what opener has 2H is reasonable - I reckon you just say what you reckon is a reasonable contract Just checked the spoiler which is sadJust ran it through one of my favourite 2/1 reality checks which ended up defendingMaybe S was overeager. Who would know I wasn't there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
