Sitting West in fourth seat with only N/S vul, the scoring is matchpoints. You hear the bidding go: 1♥(11-15 5+ ♥)-3♣-(P)-? What do you bid with the following collection? J43 A876 A754 A9 Is it an obvious pass or obvious something else?

Hey, that's what I play :) You got my vote.

For a starter I will win club king, play of the two top trumps. Then a diamond, covering Wests diamond with the cheapest possible diamond in dummy.

Argh.. 5♣

Good point Mat, this is probably better.

And I agree with the others that the sequence 1x-1M-1NT-2♣-2♦-2M should tend to be 6+ if you normally raise the major with three card support.

I think X-Y-Z is the sequence 1x-1y-1z where 1Z is a suit, then 2 ♣becomes puppet to 2♦ and 2♦ becomes GF, f.ex: 1♦-1♥ 1♠-2♦ (GF) While the sequence that is posted is x-y NT, though it works the same. 1x-1y 1NT- 2♣ is puppet to 2♦ either to play 2♦ or to come back with an invite. 2♦ is any GF. 2NT is transfer to 3♣ So f.ex : 1♦-1♠ 1NT-2♣ 2♦-2NT would be invitational with bal hand. I don't quite know what the sequence you posted means, but could it be something like invite with 5♠ and 4♦? Would think a bal hand with 4♠ and 4♦ would invite via 2NT.

I agree with Roland.

Pass

Merry Christmas all :P I want a "Squeeze The Dummy" book for next christmas :P

Todd Rundgren- Change Myself Half of me wants to knock you out Half of me wants to tell you that Im sorry, so sorry Meanwhile, half of the world wants to scream and Shout at half of the world Just like you and i Just another fact of life We plan and we scheme til theres nothing left of our little dream But half of the time I cant decide and Half of the time Im petrified I want to change the world I want to make it well How can I change the world When I cant change myself Try again tomorrow Id love to change your mind Capture your citadel How could I change your mind If I cant change myself Try again tomorrow Both of us want to win this fight Both of us think the other is mistaken, so mistaken Meanwhile, everyone wants to take up sides So everyone helps us to fall apart Just another fact of life Its hard to play fair And its so easy to pretend to care But if nobody wants to share the blame Then everyone gets more of the same If I want more peace in the world Then I must make peace with myself If I want more trust in the world Then Ive got to trust in myself If I want more love in the world I must show more love to myself

I agree with Halo and whereagles, 3NT. But not an easy one.

Pass in my partnership style :)

1. ♥ 2. I think I would just blast 4♠, 4♣ with FNJ available.

Nope

Nothing wrong with thanking you once again in this post Hervé :o

Was hoping this would be made available sometime. Thanks Hervé! :o

Yes, obvious pass, 2♥ might make.

Great post Peter :P

Good idea! <_<

I would not concider 1♠, but would bid 2♠. Not sure what I would have done if non-vul, probably 2♠ then as well.

Happy Birthday Frederick! Thanks for an interesting blog :)
