Scoring: IMP

Partner deals and opens 2♠. RHO passes. Your bid.


I'm expecting plenty of wtps I think...

4♠
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

4S stands out opposite myself, apparantly with some people's preempts on this forum you just bid 3S with this hand. TBH I have no experience with a more aggressive preempting style so I can't really say.

Psyche as in 3♠?

:) 3♠ if I am playing weak two bids as my accustomed 4-10 HCP.
I can always bid 4♠ later if they bid 4♥. We may have a secure ten tricks in spades, but this implies a diamond fit and one or more winning finesses.

4♠ with an air of "going to make +1"

I think 2Nt is unlikely to work here but who knows ?
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
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."

Even if you are playing such a style, you have enough high cards such that if you bid 4♠, you might not get doubled.

Hi,

3S

You have 4 tricks for partner, so even
if you are playing a mainstream weak
two style, you wont make 4S.

The only question is, can they make 4H
or is this unlikely.
If you say, they make 4H for sure, go ahead,
but I would say, that we should have a chance
of defeating the contract, so would go with 3S
only.

With kind regards
Marlowe

Clear 4♠ opposite myself.
3♠ or 4♠ opposite some I know.
Autopass opposite just a few.

I voted 4♠.
Kind regards,
Harald

Lol. I would not even pass this hand opposite myself, 3rd favorable at MPs, and I preempt a LOT of junk in that position
