coyot Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Partner did not have to bid. He ought to have a good spade stopper. I have a nice maximum of 1NT - support for his first suit, decent points in diamonds and nice "empty" hearts that should fill the role of lead-detergent :-). I will not run into 2♥ unless doubled.

helene_t Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 If we play support dbls and always open 1♦ with 4/4 minors, partner is likely to have a 5-card clubs. And with a singleton spades in the dummy, even a 4-3-fit is playable. So 2♣ has merrits. I chose pass because I've soft values and because 2♣ gives them an extra chance of bidding 2♠, which is probably worse than us playing 1NT.

whereagles Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Given LHO's original pass and RHO's pass, opps rate to keep silent from now on. Since I have bad hearts 1NT may very well be the last thing that makes, so I'm going to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jlall Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Pass. I'm not sure if we play supp XX but partner didn't make one if we do. He also didn't pass which is an option with a weak NT and a weak stopper. So most likely he has a double stopper. RHO has indicated some heart length, and my suit is just too bad.

joker_gib Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Justin said all and NT's score better in MP --> Pass Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I bid 2♥ with any 5c suit, sadly I don't have 1 now :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Pass, happily. :rolleyes: Are we really going to make 2 more tricks in clubs than NT? Especially when RHO puts a trump on the table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I bid 2♥ with any 5c suit, sadly I don't have 1 now :rolleyes: Even if I had better hearts I wouldn't correct in this auction. Without interference I would almost always bid 2H over 1NT with this shape (but then partner usually doesn't have 4 spades, so that's different).

Double ! Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Pass. I'm not sure if we play supp XX but partner didn't make one if we do. He also didn't pass which is an option with a weak NT and a weak stopper. So most likely he has a double stopper. RHO has indicated some heart length, and my suit is just too bad. Agree The dog that didn't bark: Partner didn't make a support double (BBO-advanced)No one forced partner to bid. P bid 1NT for a reason: decent spades, legit. opener. If anything, my KQx of clubs should be golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
