I throw in the towel - fully realizing if pard has perfect cards we are gin for 3N.

Too much downside on this misfit for me.

PASS. I have had enough. I already showed a good hand by overcalling at red, and the quality of the club suit is nothing to write home about. The ♠Q is not the greatest value either.

Finally, I can't be sure that we have a fit. Partner can easily have some length in spades. The worst but possible scenario is 3-4-5-1.

I am happy to defend.

Pass. Pard didnt X 2S or bid 3C so I don't think we're likely to be missing anything. If I bid 3C and got Xed i would !@#$% my pants.

3C, maybe they catch me often enough,
that I will learn the meaning of the Green
Card, if I ever will play for money, this could
be an expensive enterprice.

I just want to play that, but would be happy,
if somebody gaves me the 10, 9, 8 in clubs,
maybe only 2 of these three cards.

With kind regards

Pass, already shown a good hand with ♣ and I don't have any extra's (3 aces but ♠Q seems useless)

Pass. Echo the feelings of those who lack confidence, but 3C is asking for the axe.

How much more of the world's habitat and food supply for animals do we plan on destroying. How many more wetlands are we going to drain, fill, and build on? How many more sand dunes are we going to knock down in the interests of high-rise hotels or luxury homes?

another vote for pass.

spade queen of questionable value, no evidence that opps have fit, my 2-level overcalls tend to be sound (usually 6-bagger), and I have a partner who heard my bid and just might have said something else with support or some decent cards.
2 & 3NT seems rather unilateral imo. BTW: where are the red cards?

I think you are right on, Trixie. I have found that asking myself "would you do that if you were playing for money?" has saved me from making plenty of decisions that I would have ended up regretting over the years.

Perhaps needless to say, I would Pass.

Thanks all for replies...

Here is the actual hand although it doesn't prove anything...



3NT, 4H gd chance. so +200 against 2S isn't too satisfactory :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'm convinced Pass is right in the long run. Thanks all!

Nth could have doubled 2S for takeout. Passing on a 5-5 shape seems timid when pd has ventured a 2 level vul overcall.

I completely agree

Btw, I would probably pass as well with the South hand in this bidding...

3C=or +1 is no better than +200.:) I doubt anyone can find 4H in the context.

Only if you explicitly agreed with pd to play it as t/o. Without discussion it should be for penalty.

blah blah blah, North could had doubled 2♠ :-(, blah blah blah.

Still not a clear bid for anyone, you can never guess all of those.
