Opening Hand, Consider Passing
Opening hand - consider Passing!

As West, I have an opening hand and I opened 1 - by the time it came back to me I am bidding over 3 and partner has bid s.  I cannot show my  with our system (not strong enough to bid above or and Dbl is penalties) so all I can do is support with my 3 card suit.  Partner now thinks my 5s are better than they are and correctly bids 4.  With a slightly better break we can make this but not tonight!  Better to Pass.....

Partner now opens and we cn have a more constructive auction.  I can now support patner and we ignore the dodgy s and find the correct contract, if only I would pass......!
