Hi all

Idly wondering whether to bid 1C or 2NT ended up accidentally bidding 2C
The responders 2D was taken as a transfer by me to 2H since I was still in 2NT land (then noticed the error)

Any thoughts :)



I failed to find an escape since my NT trump attempts ended up in Blackwood via 3NT-4H. I ended up passing the first Blackwood response of 5D hoping for a miraculous diamond game. I think passing 3H would have been my best score

I am sure escapology is an important skill in Bridge

Your best shot is to bid 3; if GIB bids 4 (or cuebids), bid 4 (or whatever the cheapest control is). GIB loves to bid Blackwood, and passing it at least gives you hope.

This should be in the GIB forum though..

Its not really a GiB thingy since it was my blunder and GiB actually bid to card as far as I can tell

I'm not sure what 3S means. Probably a cue bid

Sadly partner didn't have much. Just enough for 3NT if you were lucky

Hi,

Either pass or 3NT.

3NT will most likely take you to 4H, which you have to pass.
You told your partner (GIB) you have 5+ haerts, you can try once to escape,
but only once. The more intelligent partner should pass fist.
Chances are you are in a 43 fit, sometimes those fits make.
With kind regards
