thanks all for votes and reply, a secondary question which isn't really N/B but it's a bit pointless to make a new topic... if the correct answer is to support Hearts, how do we then find the spade game when P has 3/5/(32) and our spades are a lot more solid than hearts? 3 spade = cue for hearts and 4 spades = exclusion? or is 3 spade just natural showing 3 card spade support and not sure where to play at this point? Thanks, Eagles
IMPS [hv=pc=n&e=sakjt9h832dqt9cq3&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=1sp2hp]133|200[/hv] wasn't sure on this one, obviously there's a known fit in Hearts but the spades are so good maybe they're worth a rebid? I decided to support the Hearts but I wasn't confident! Thanks, Eagles
to be fair, yes I'm not playing top end club bridge, but nor am I playing "kitchen bridge in a club" type thing... Dunno what it means but one is ranked NGS 49.7 and the other is NGS 47.9... and I doubt many of the players would even have heard of Leb. but maybe i'm in the lowest 20% :) Thanks, Eagles
Hi Guys, thanks all for the replies. Yes I know Leb (although it wasn't available in this partnership, I was more looking at the hand hypothetically), I just wasn't sure how the continuations should go after 3 clubs Cheers, Eagles
with respect why not just respond to the question, I consider my myself n/b for this forum standard but always look at the expert forum etc to learn and would be interested to hear your "great response" Thanks, Eagles
Matchpoints as always, 1NT is 12-14 [hv=pc=n&n=sakqt8hj85dt8cqj3&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=1np]133|200[/hv] what is the best bid/action here? Have had some conflicting advice! Thanks, Eagles
[hv=pc=n&s=sk43hkt32d5cakj53&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=p1cp1sp]133|200[/hv] I wasn't too sure what to bid here and considered it relatively close between: 2 clubs, 2 hearts and 2 spades :lol: in the end I went for but I wasn't sure if that was right or not and would be interested in opinions! Thanks, Eagles
ok thanks folks, didn't think it was that bad a slam but obviously I was mistaken!! a side question: our sequence was (opps silent) 1H - 1S - 2C - 3N - 4H would 4NT now be keycard in hearts or sign off in no trumps? Thanks, Eagles
thanks, at the table I chose to pass but afterwards I thought I probably should have opened 3clubs even though I didn't have a 7 card suit.. I'll know for next time :)
