3D. Pass also does not occur to me. How on earth could you catch up?


By bidding a "good" 3♦ in the context of (not using) a lebenshol 2NT. See Robson/Segal, chapter 5. There is a similar example there (quote) "a very difficult hand".

Still, I don't think I'd be as pessimistic as bidding it that way. On the other hand if 1♠ can be on junk, I'm not so sure.

Pass is a joke.

Using 2NT as artificial is ok, using 2NT only for a S raise is a terrible method, I dont care if it popular among experts its still terrible.

Its either X or 3D. It really depend on the crap you open. If you open many 10 count I like double.

I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

This problem came up in a club game today. MPs
Note that at this vulnerability, the 1♠ opening could be made on as little as 10 HCP.
What is your action?

IMO: 3♦ = 10, Pass = 9 (Ha Ha but a reasonable MPs gamble against vulnerable opponents) Double = 8.
