This hand created a bit of a ruckus:

You hold at IMPs

---

. Partner naturally opens 1♥, you respond 1♠, LHO bids 2♦, partner rebids 2♥ which promises 6 cards.

On a scale of 1-10, how bad is a 3♠ bid here instead of 4♠? That is question 1.

Question 2: in the North seat, If partner bids 3♠, what is the worst possible hand you would raise to 4 with?

Thanks as always to our devoted fans. LOL

3s = 3 (7n is worse for ex)


worst hand xxxxx KQ xxx xxx and i would be ready to aplogize if this didnt work

if p has say x KQxxxx KQx Kxx is this a 2h rebid ??? does the 6th heart really
remove the 1h bidder from a minimum 1h opening ??? IMO no. This hand would
not bid 2h over 2d just to show 6. The 2h bid must either show extra values or
possibly extra good hearts and not a complete minimum (the weaker your
opening bids the more room there is for a min hand (ie not strong enough to invite).

Your heart void is a bad thing but you have 7 spades to the AKQ opposite a rebidding p
hard to imagine you not bidding anything but 4s. Trying 3s is horrifically pessimistic
especially when you will probably be able to play the hand double dummy and p hand is
behind the 2d bidder dramatically increasing the odds of any needed finesses working.

1. 3♠ is not the worst call in the world, but you just know its wrong.

2. This question is just too open-ended, sorry.

3S is terrible

I assume everyone would bid 3S if one of their spades was a minor suit card. That hand is >1 trick worse than this hand
