<\/a>At clubhouse, my Lefthand opponent Ira opened with a pass<\/a>. My partner Mark called two clubs<\/a>, and said \u2018you\u2019ve to response.\u2019 A pass followed. I answered with 3 clubs.<\/p>\nMy hand is weak, with 8 points, with 5 low clubs cards, which was my longest suit. Since it\u2019s informal and I\u2019ve been asking questions on my bidding, Mark said \u20182 clubs\u2019 meant a strong hand and not necessarily mean in club suit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few notes for \u00a0Two Clubs bid<\/a> and responses:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We chitchat a little between hands. And sometimes after a rubber or twenty some hands (22 hands here<\/a>), we tend to loose focus. This will be the time we make mistakes. Most often, by playing the wrong card. Such as, one intends to use ♥️ to trump but instead plays ♦️. The dummy is usually keeps a tape on things, like who goes and if it should be led by the hand on deck. All the times, such mistakes were only pointed out afterward. No one, not even the partner would say a thing. And I like it a lot: at Guandan<\/a> or other kind of card games with my fellow countrymen, oh boy, do they talk<\/a> and cheat!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At clubhouse, my Lefthand opponent Ira opened with a pass.
