Hi,

as a reaction to a threath, I will post the following hand.

It is from a training match, a league, but fun.
In this round you play against Daniela von Arnim, and she is playing with a sponsor,
a reg. p, Dutch, I dont know the real name, but at least decent, most likely better
than me, whatever this may mean.

They play a 2/1 system.

In the first hand, first half, you hold, all green in 4th position

♠76542
♥Q6
♦
♣QT9532


The auction starts

(1♦) - pass - (1♥) - ???

The question is, do you enter, if yes, what do you choose:

You could bid either 1NT, 2NT showing the black suits, higher bids show
more distribution, you could bid 2C, 3C, ...

Partner will know, that if there is a joker in the bidding it may be well
you.

With kind regards
Marlowe

Whats a threath?

Yes I do enter the bidding with 2♦. In 4th seat I play

• X as equal length in the unbid suits
• 1N 4+♣5+♠
• 2♦ 5+♣ 4+♠

I do bid spades aggressively but not with xxxxx
If it’s purely fun, kitchen bridge I suppose players bid 3C

I pass

The clubs are too poor even to mess around with.
If it's friday night (my imminent fun/practice tournament) then I might consider 2♠, which puts some pressure on and has probable fit.

So, how much fun did you have?
