Had a funny thing happen to me at the Saddleback sectional on Friday. Your partner (an ex-National and World) champion picks up:

Scoring: MP


He opens 1♣ and I make an inverted raise. At this point he's just noticed that he's mis-sorted his hand :D B) :lol: and actually holds:

Scoring: MP
.

So he tries 2♠. I retreat to 3♣ which boxes my hand as a limit raise.

Any ideas on how to dig yourself out of this mess?

I would pass, quite reluctantly.

At IMPs I would bid 3S, showing my 6-5 :D

What about bidding 3♥ now? Can partner figure it out now?

3♥ probably begets 3N.

I held: Qx, xx, Axxx, Axxxx. Pard chose 3♠, ostensibly showing a 5-6. I got VERY excited and cued 4♦. He tried 4♥, I key carded and he PASSED B) .

Happy to report -300 was our only real bad board. :)

He could have passed 3♣ too. The 5-2 doesn't play too bad.
