Sectional hand #2

Scoring: MP

1♦ - (p) - ?


1♦ = 1+ ♦, 11-15, 13-15 if balanced

3♣ would be a WJS.

Playing Precision? Heck ya.

1♥ looks OK - maybe I can wriggle into clubs later.

How weak is 3♣ ?

Almost certainly I will PASS.

I won't pass and will bid something that I feel like. 1H, S, NT, 3C, who knows.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

probably 1♠ to get the most blockage possible for the level. 3♣ is asking to score -200 when all they have is a partscore and -500 when all they have is a game

Definitely 1M. Which one is a matter of strategy. Bidding 1♠ might tell opps where the ♠Q is, bidding ♥ risks that partner leads this. I think I prefer 1♠.

roflmao. This is an obvious pass. If you routinely bid on this, your partner needs to alert your 1 level responses as being possible psyches.

Isn't responding 1M with 3+M standard yet after a precision 1♦ opening? B) But ok, it's a little light. :P

I hope you are still laughing as much after your partner scores up -200 against nothing at matchpoints, or -500 against their game, in his 2-1 fit.

Actually, it was -400, with *-600* possible double dummy. So, it was against their slam. *In diamonds*. 3♣ would be either making or -1 depending on how sharp the defense is.

Given that a WJS should show 6+ cards, <6 hcp, and you have a hand that is described perfectly by that bid, then that's what you bid (3♣). The "what if's" should never stop you from making the call that best describes your hand. If you are going to play this kind of "game", then you may as well remove the damn bid from your card.
