With H10 or maybe even H9 instead of H6 I might choose 3D.Nigel Kearneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810873665345046994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3054572289714694516.post-62805686948580146562009-09-24T13:21:17.864-04:002009-09-24T13:21:17.864-04:00I would bid 2D the first time, and I'm not giv...I would bid 2D the first time, and I'm not giving up now - I bid 3H.Memphis MOJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653631347560307425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3054572289714694516.post-11342800537623666362009-09-24T10:13:37.506-04:002009-09-24T10:13:37.506-04:00Yes, I would have bid 3D the first time, thinking ...Yes, I would have bid 3D the first time, thinking that this shows a high-card raise to 3S with 4 trumps. Now I'll bid 3S.<br /><br />Partner would overcall 1S with something like AQxxx Qxx xxx xx, right? So, bidding past 3S seems like an error. Even AQxxx Axx xxx xx isn't a great game (given the auction) so trying with 3H also seems like an overbid.thghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162087157576931227noreply@blogger.com
