Scoring: MP


lho bids 2♣, P bids 2 ♠, and rho x's, which is alerted as "weak hand." Your action and why? :rolleyes:

3S.

Yes I saw the colors but 4S is too much with my partners.

Agree. 3♠ is both mandatory on these cards and sufficient.

3♠ seems to be just about the limit even for these colours.

I find 3♥ incredible tempting...

I do not find 3♥ tempting, 3♠ it is. The normal agreement by the opponents would be that double of 3♥ shows hearts so it's anti-preemptive. I don't see a reason to be so creative anyway since 3♠ makes things very difficult for the opponents, neither of whom have shown diddly about their shape.

3S for me also.

Another 3♠ bidder here. To go all way to 4♠ just looks like it may hand the opps an easy 500 or lots more if PD was fooling around with his 2♠ bid.

After 3♠ opener may be in a bind and faced with an unpleasant guess.

3♠, only alternative is pass if we overcall very agressive.

pretty obvious agreement on this one. We bid 3♠, and LHO bids (a.) 3nt, or (b.) 4♥. In both cases, P passes. what action now and why? B)

Pass. I have the same hand as I had one round earlier.

Ditto gnasher.

Partner has a better picture of our hand than we do of his. For example, he can probably guess that we have 3 spades while we don't know if partner has 5 or 6 spades. I wouldn't raise with a useless 3334 hand, partner can bid 4S if it looks right.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Maybe partner is 5-4 in the majors. Maybe he psyched and he is like 3-5 in the majors and opener had 5 hearts. Or maybe the opponents guessed right. But I made them guess, I'm happy.

I said it all when I said 3♠. Nothing further to add. Pass.

Pass. I have made my bid on the last round and am definitely not making the last guess on the hand.
