i am sorry the bidding is uncontested. 3nt i advise.

i noticed VUL is favorable to me,that means unfavorable to us now----u had to decide a sacrifice or not,especially on 5 level---- I bid 4♣ to show shorten if it is. i don't want to bid 4♦ because my hand need ♦+♥control only,not ♦ honor card.I expect my pd's hand is QJxxx Axx x Axxx,a perfect slam.

2nt ,specially using a limit sys. my reason is he didn't reopen T/O,that means his next auction is rebid a major --- to show his 10 card+ major.I waiting fro my partner as my waiting for his loving. :P

oh, the fallacy is becoming truth. To show the whole instead of the portion,WC player ever warned us more than 1000 in the whole 999 times .

♠4-1 and ♥ 5-3 mb dangerous. which shape?♠ 2-3

hand 1st/3rd is unfit to psyche. OPPS have so strong hand(27+HCPs),they can do better when you psyche on the lowest level .

4NT invite slam ,i agree ,but what is qualification? strength?control?honor trump card? or special suiter:♠ control? 5♣ is cuebid, i agree;and it denies ♥ control almost,i agree too. the cuebid shows control on ♣ and hint lack on other.He passed 3♥ then invite slam with 2card ♥,which hand he hold? for 2 example: x Ax xxxx Axxxxx bid 4NT now? x xxx KQxx Axxxx 5♣ apparently.

the example (1): Qxxxx xx Qxxxx x Follwing (4♣)-x-(p)-?,or 1♣-x-4♣-?,did anyone refuse to bid 4♠?

no. Over a high level(assume it's A) preempt, pull the double with the hand consisted in a certain offendsive tricks:A-1.when you decide to bid on A+1 level, of course, it need (A+1)-1=A. for example:bidding:4♠-(x)-p-(?)you have to pull when you hold: x Kxx KQxx Kxxxx The offendsive tricks is 6+: 3 on ♣,2 on ♦,1 on ♥, and some extra.so you have to pull,bid (6-1)=5,ofcz bid slam sometimes for it's extra. Changing ♦Q to ♠,it's the verge to passout.Even though holding 2236 shape,many player prefer to pass it under favorable VULnerable.

i would like to oppose those 2♠ or 2♥ competition,i will preempt 3♠ to my opponent,i am fighter.

The boil is 10total points VS 14-16 nt opened. :rolleyes:

East should bid 4♥,he must show his slam interesting. his extra is very clear,double doubleton and (5+4=)9-7=2 long suitter card's contribution,sometimes his hand has 14total points. West hasn't on his road. his hand is in middle range,good card but not maximum.his 4nt is bad,and 6♠ is worst.I advise 5♠ follow 4nt if he is confused by 5♠ directly.

:angry: i like this commentary

i enjoy Mikeh's commentation:DOUBLE is bad,5♥ is worst,6♣ is crazy.

The hand 7♦ bidder: KQxx Axxx AKxx Q my design <_< opener never show his minimum,never.

south too aggressive, i deem his hand should be : x Qxxxx AKQx xxx

did you deem the underside hand better 1trick than the upside hand? I don't think so. an example for opener's hand: KQx QJxxxx Axx x

I agree you ,2♠ first then double.

This is assuming you will win the ♠A in dummy at trick 2? As a hint, clubs are 5-2, with Qx on your right. Looking at the dummy hand, RHO shift to ♠, that means ♦ suit has some good news to me. did u understand this? of course opps maybe very poor ,that isn't my thinking for reference.

Did any wc player keep silence when he hold north's hand? and as mike777 indicate,east can raise it ,futher more,5♣ is a perfect contrct to make it.

The Bridge World is a print magazine, you have to subscribe to it. It's well worth it, it is THE bridge magazine on this planet. I learned a lot from reading it, and half only been doing so for less than a year. There is still a special offer in the lobby news of BBO, I think. On their website, they have only a couple of samplers. (www.bridgeworld.com) T H A N K S

Problem with this line is that, when you duck the second major, East could win and shift to a diamond. yes ,so i use the word "try to",remain the playing of ♦ suit

so many feasibility,i would start from ♦ suit and finesse ♦ Q,the opps defense trick is 3♣+2♦ +1♥

i assume west doesn't have a 4card major suiter, so i take ♣ Q then duck a major,try to duck another major, then throw in ♣ if it isn't 6-0 distribution.

thank mikeh, could you tell me the <http> of Master Solvers Club in the Bridge World?ty winstonm, i think we will sign off 3♣ when you raise 3♣ by underbid, unless opps help us.
