mr1303 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Nothing from me this time. Half tempted by 2NT, but I think I'll resist temptation this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 2nt, nv wtp?If p has 5s and we have game, oh well, maybe they can show them, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 2NT seems obvious, but has a problem. It is likely LHO will raise to 3 or 4 hearts, after which pard may not bid 4S unless he has 7 of them (or super 6). So, if you're ok with the problem above, by all means bid 2NT. Otherwise you can... double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I'd sooner double than bid 2NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 At our table, auction progressed as follows 1D - (1S) - 4H - (4S) X - (4N) - P - (5C) X - All pass 1D was MOSCITO showing 4+ Hearts.The player holding a 3=0=5=5 overcalled 1S.The first double showed cards Imagine my surprise when the player holding AKxxx in Spades and 3 Clubs to the Queen decided to declare a club contract which rolled home.

Free Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Imagine my surprise when the player holding AKxxx in Spades and 3 Clubs to the Queen decided to declare a club contract which rolled home. He probably thought 4NT was Ace-asking :) :D I'd probably bid 2NT, followed by 4♠ if that's still possible, describing my hand exactly.

MickyB Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 No idea what he thought it was, but after bidding 5♣ his LHO doubled and this was passed out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
