Hand 1:

5♣

Hand 2:

2NT

[straube]

1. Pass. From a LOTT point of view...maybe 8-cd heart fit and 9-cd club fit so
.....17 tricks. If they make game we're down 4 (doubled I assume) in 5C.

2. 2S (I assume we're playing 2/1 GF....2N rebid is tempting)

[manudude03]

1. Pass, at these colors, bidding should be to make.
2. 2NT, would prefer better pips, but this is too good a 10 count to be bidding 2S.

[mike777]

deal two.

If you bid 2s pard will rebid 3c, what now?

[deannz]

Deal 2
Rebid 3♠. This is a suit orientated hand. Was 1NT forcing?

Think its closer to 4♠ rebid than anything else.

Over 3♣? 4♠ now for sure.

IMO

• Pass = 10, 5♣ = 6. 4♥X= may be cheaper than 5♣X - 2.
• 2♠ =10, 3♠ = 9. 2NT = 7, 2♥ = 5.

IMO 4♣ = 10, 3♥ = 9, 4♠ = 8, 3N = 6, 3♠ = 4. It's just possible that partner is 5044

Nige I note you seem conflicted between 4c..going past 3nt and 3h, or 4s, thus the discussion.

For the record I do not know the deal, not my hand, email problem.

I thought 3h would be the popular response....I was wrong.

I want to bid 3H and think that should create a GF.

thanks straube..

I also bid 3h but I did think this was a "transfer blame" bid.

I think we all agree we are in gf.

3c can be a pretty huge 5044 hand or something smaller with other shape, thus we hv a discussion.

Hand 1: 5♣. There is a real danger to see 4♥ making. 5♣ on the other hand will be cheap and may even make.

Hand 2: 2NT. If opener accepts the invite, he should bid 3♥ on a 5341 shape. That's the natural way to "solve" this problem.
