I want to bid again. Am I crazy?

[rogerclee]

I would bid 3H and call it pretty obvious.

[the hog]

Well I would have bid 4H over the raise. Responder has no H cards and therefore hopefully has a C card. At Imps this is totally obvious, at MPs 3C followed by 3H is certainly not unreasonable, but I would still bid 4H. After all, you have a 3 loser hand.

Try reading the auction again.

[gwnn]

that would take all the fun out of it. I vote for 3H and yes to the question which doesn't want an answer.

At MP I only have one person to answer to. Not sure I would want to explain a number at IMPS

Yes true. I thought pd made a cue bid. Thx. 3H now, of course.

I never know what to do when partner cue bids my suit.

There was an interesting MSC problem where you cuebid your own suit... I believe it was:

1D X p p
2D

[P_Marlowe]

You are 6-5, the only thing, that speaks against bidding is being red vs. green,
and that it is MP, since it could be argued, that 3C already showed your hand,
to a large degree, but well, who cares.

With kind regards
Marlowe

PS: They say, I bid sometimes like I came straight out of the Madhoue, so ...

natural, planning to redouble if opps don't "get it". wtp?

[vuroth]

Ok, I take the blame. In retrospect, 3♥ was miles better than my 4♣ bid.

I think I get too seduced by shape. Hearts is a major, a level lower, AND a much more solid suit.

Thanks.

[gwnn]

oh ok so you were crazy on this hand too

Oh you mean THIS?

So tempting to respond to a paulhar post with a question.
