pclayton Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 2nd question from the Long Beach Open pairs: [hv=d=s&v=n&s=s7hkqj64da3cqj987]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv] You open 1♥, LHO doubles, pard bids 2♥ (Alert! - we play transfers here, so pard has about 3-7 and usually 3 pieces) Your call?

bearmum Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I voted 3♥ (boring I KNOW :lol: ) but we are vul against non vul -- so I am NOT going to sac against possible 4♠ by opps anyway -- and P has at MOST 7 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 3H. They probably can't make 4S, but they very likely can make 2. 3C is appealing, but a little much. I might bid it at teams. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Hum.. wierd. Why didn't RHO bid? He seems to have a few spades. Probably LHO has a 5-card spade and a good hand. In that case 3♣ seems fine. Then if it goes 1♥ dbl 2♥ pass3♣ 3♠ 4♣ 4♠ now I can bid 5♣ with confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Red verses white is not the time to get out of line. Minus 140 is better than minus 200/500 and it seems RHO's pass indicates 4 hearts. If I bid 3H, LHO may well double again and this is not the hand to be playing 3H whacked with spade forces. WinstonM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 pass but willing to learn what is the expert bid here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
