With me they always bid 4S.<br /><br />What if pard had KJxxx, xxx, xx, Kxx -- not unreasonable, yet in 4S we're off likely 2 spades, 2 diamonds and we have a round-suit loser to deal with.<br /><br />I know I'm getting old and conservative, but I think I'm with Jeff -- I pass.Memphis MOJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653631347560307425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305451761816309155.post-87507538169190034902011-04-15T22:46:48.257+12:002011-04-15T22:46:48.257+12:00I'll pass.

Over 3D, I would try 3H (the Marshall Miles' four-card major suit overcall special, hoping for something like xxxx, Qxxxx, x, KQx opposite) ... but partners have been known to own a much less suitable seven count such as AKxxx, xxx, xx, xxx.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402419741923703786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305451761816309155.post-50038722131172343032011-04-15T21:39:44.442+12:002011-04-15T21:39:44.442+12:00HBJ speaking : interesting problem.

Assuming the split is 2-1 partner has 11 possibly 12 cards in the other 3 suits.<br />A double therefore has merits but 4S from partner is not what I want to hear. I'm bidding 4 hearts knowing by partner's heart holding can deal with a force in diamonds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305451761816309155.post-77342874266306600512011-04-15T19:46:16.992+12:002011-04-15T19:46:16.992+12:00Double.
