I guess I was misunderstood. I was commenting on the 2D opening and the raise to 3. Of course you bid 3NT fourth hand. Earlier Mike was suggesting that the 3H bid over 1C must be a psych since third hand is looking at AKTx. I was saying folks bid a lot. I meant the 2D bid and the raise to 3 as an example of this. The reason for mentioning Garozzo was so that no one thought I was kibitzing beginners. It is a little unusual to take four tricks at NT in the suit the opponents preempt in.


Anyway, it's wandering off the thread and I apologize for the confusion.

Well the opening bid may be a psyche also but that would really be opening up a hornet's nest and wandering off the thread :).

Anyone for getting to 4s if partner had passed? Ok nevermind.

Well, the chances of a 3S overcall working are interesting if pard has yet to call. If he is a passed hand (and LHO has yet to bid) then it may well be their hand and a cautious pass may be in order as they could get to 3NT...yum yum

Any chance RHO may pass and not open 3h in second seat? maybe not?

Interesting how different standard opening styles have on the rest of the auction.
