Overcaller must call again - 2006/02/28 13:27 Matchpoints, favorable vulnerability

You hold: 976, 8, AJT, AQJT65

RHO You LHO Partner
1S 2C Pass 2S
Pass ?

Partner's cue is our only doubtfully forcing call, so he could have many different types of hands.

I chose to bid 3C, & made 6 (partner held 853, AK96, K965, K9 & opening leader led a diamond rather than a singleton SK).

Partner enthusiastically insisted which, result aside, my
3C call was woefully misleading (I've a six loser hand).

What do you think? Did I've better options?

re:Overcaller must call again - 2006/03/03 08:18 That's true, but when we *do* have 3 small we should encouragingly bring it in to account, as shuold partner.

There's little more ridiculous then bidding up with 3 small in the opponents' suite, expectin partner to be short, & then strictly fidning that partner also has three small. Leave partner to take acount of the shortage - if it exists.

The hand in questrion doesn't look much bettewr than I'd expect for a minimum two-level overcall.
