From the club last night (matchpoints, none vul):



Taking as given that nobody opened this with an ugly 2nd seat preempt.... your hand looks a whole lot better the next time around.

1) What is your plan if East passes 1S?
2) What is your plan in the actual auction? (Your call now, and what you'll do next if the opponents compete further)

2♠, 3♠. But I'm not proud. I hope partner can double 4♥ but if he doesn't I might bid 4♠.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

3♠ now. Would only try 4♠ against someone that doesn't know me well, ahah.

By the way, what's this about East passing? How can someone that cued have pass as alternative?? lol

1) What is your plan if East passes 1S? 2♦: UCB
2) What is your plan in the actual auction? (: 4♠ let them find it.

1) 2♥.
2) 3♠. Bidding four is not kind to partner who just stuck in a 1-lvl overcall.

1) I'd have probably bid 2♥.
2) Now I'll try 3♥. Being a passed hand (and having 2N available here as a 4 card limit raise) make cuebidding much more attractive. Without 2N available I'd content myself with 3♠.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

Meh 3♥. I don't want to give up on game, and I think 3♠ is taking a view.

4♠ is unilateral, but it might work. Then again, so could a pass.

At the table, I decided to believe my shape and my lack of defense against 4H, and jumped to 4S over 2S. It continued 5D on my left, pass from partner, 5H on my right. We felt good we had pushed them to five, and were more surprised they went off two. I forget the exact spots, but LHO was 2-5-4-2, partner 6-3-2-2, dummy 2-5-4-2 (with only the AJ of diamonds and no other face cards! RHO, one of the best players in the club, explained he didn't want to jump to 4 without a singleton, and thought if he was raising to 3 anyway he'd try and keep me from bidding 4S) .... and our -100 turned out to be a bad score since a lot of east-wests sold out to 4S (and one misdefended 5C and let it make.)

@whereagles: the question about 1H-1S-Pass was purely hypothetical, re evaluating this hand.
