1♥-(3♦)-?


You don't play precision but partner opens pretty light.

1) You're playing against club players.

3H, if I was somehow on tilt I would be bidding 3N not passing.

3♥ for both. I almost never go for blood with undisclosed support for partner, and KJ8 is certainly not the suit that would make me do it.

3♥. What little bridge I play these days is mostly club play. Good players don't need to and should not try to win boards by making 'master bids'. Bid normally, and take all of your tricks on offence and defence and you will score 65% on a normal day... that almost always wins.

MSC... even less reason to mastermind.

I agree with Justin: if we are swinging, swing via 3N.

Blood, blood. If these aren't try for penalty bonanza, what is? 2xtrump tricks + AK? Or more? 3xtrump tricks +A?

What about 4 cards in their suit and a mistfit for partner?
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Agree with this. I do like 3NT though. :rolleyes:

Anyway, regarding the "blood" comment. x for me is takeout and secondly there is no guarantee that partner will reopen with a X if you pass, especially if as the op stated, he is a light opener.

Kind regards,
