Well, I've almost recovered from a truly abysmal showing in yesterday's Indy:

Might as well post what I consider some of the more interesting hands:

Scoring: MP


You open 1♣ in second seat. The auction continues

1♣ - 1♥
2♥ - 3♣
???

Whats your bid?

3N seems such an obvious choice it must be wrong.

That sounds about right.

I'd reject the game try, if that is what it is, with 3H, and I'd like to reject it with 2H. I see a flat hand, no source of tricks, 8 losers, and 9/14 points in our short suits ( spades, diamonds); we're in MP and I wouldn't mind protecting the plus, nor would I mind being wildly anti-field if I have a decent chance of being right.


Am I being too conservative? Maybe P is making a GT that is based on a non-existent double fit. He didn't try with 2N, so the offsuit honors are not going to combine with much that is useful.

I'm also a 3NTer. I have 14 HCP (albeit of somewhat dubious quality) and pard made a game try (maybe a slam try). If the latter 3NT should keep pard out of slam.

Hi,
I decided to bid 3H (... I passed the 3H invite),
I dont think that 3C is different from 3H,
but only because we were playing MP.
You dont even know, what kind of game try it is.

From a LTC point of view, you have a min.
opener, ... and if you want to go conservative
playing MP, this hand is certainly a hand to do it.

With kind regards
Marlowe

PS: Regarding 3NT, the invite maybe based on
distribution, and even if not, you may play with
someone who streches to make an invite with
9-10HCP.
With kind regards
