TMorris Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 2 ♦ is fine. It is a very long way from a WJO which amongst other things could put partner off from bidding no trumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL78 Posted April 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Well that is my judgement exposed as being screwed. I did bid 3♦ and it went badly wrong: [hv=pc=n&s=sha8762d643caq975&w=sakq9hk53dt7ck843&n=sj2hjt9dakqj98cjt&e=st876543hq4d52c62&d=w&v=e&b=16&a=1s3d3sp4dppp]399|300[/hv] One down but 6♦ is there on a favourable layout.

apollo1201 Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I don’t think W bid 4D but even with the 3D bid, partner knows 4S likely make (2 aces + a trick from partner, maybe CQ scores but maybe not), and at green 5D should be very cheap (2 aces + 5 or 6 tricks on average from partner and a few ruffs), even if partner preempted with less than usual given the vulnerability. And if you bid 2D, they’ll bid 5D but this time to make. Even doing a slam try is possible but xxx trumps is a bit less that what partner could expect for a slam try. So even if 3D is clearly not such a good bid, the 2 subsequent passes by partner are truly bad. Same story again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
