Originally we play multy. With this hand 2♦ (weak in one major or strong (19-22) NT distribution). In SAYC system - 2♥. Count exactly 6 tricks in heart game. Both red, down too, exactly for 2♥.

:) AJT K Kxx - KJTx Qxxx AKx QJTxxxxx Right? <_< Best contract - 6♣.Thanks for advantage!

Mdaa... With K/-/Qxxx/QJTxxxxx i'm pass! My agreement simple - before partner - constructive preemptive, after partner - destructive/random. If i'm bid preemptive with this hand my partner no chances count my really tricks and definite we play bad final contract.

[hv=d=n&v=n&n=skxhkxxxxdxcjtxxx&s=sqjxht9dakqjxxcq9]133|200|Scoring: IMP P-(P)-1♦-(1♠) X-(P)-3NT...[/hv] Spade lead to king. Run all diamonds and discards all clubs. LHO too discard two clubs. Successfully heart finesse and :) await 9.trick from LHO (clubs blocked). [hv=d=n&v=n&n=skxhkxxxxdxcjtxxx&s=sqjxht9dakqjxxcq9]133|200|Scoring: IMP P-(P)-1♦-(1♠) X-(P)-3NT...[/hv] Club lead to ace. Small spade to LHO. <_< Club... 9 tricks. [hv=d=n&v=n&n=skxhkxxxxdxcjtxxx&s=sqjxht9dakqjxxcq9]133|200|Scoring: IMP P-(P)-1♦-(1♠) X-(P)-3NT...[/hv] Spade jack lead to queen. Club to queen, return club to king. Clubs marked 2-2. RHO take the ace <_< and spade. 10 tricks. Lucky? Analyse show in all boards 8 NT tricks and no more possible contract. Plus easy declarer play and hard defender play. What's do you mean about this? (Boards played with 10-15 minutes interval)

TNT for this hand probably is 19. If we have 5D contract 5C contract down three. Loses 100 points! If we not have 5D contract and 5C contract down two we win much more points! After biding stage closed (5Cx) easy lead club!

Double! Mean 5C is especially bid for im bid 5D! Double - 9 5D - 7 Pass - 4 Other (5H) - 1.

Helen, what convention you use if part bid 6S and you have similar minor suits?

Mdaaa! No one immediately bid 7H? Partner shows more than only simple takeout double! Partner shows as minimum Fxx in hearts and both minor aces! 5-10 seconds i'm counted both minor aces, heart support and easy bid 7H! Only 2 pairs of 16 stop in right contract. For more players last bidding box column is a dream! 4NT, 5S (also 6S) only arguing your partner with identical minor suits. Thanks all for advantage! Takeout hand - Kx/Qxx/AJxx/AJxx.

6NT means redirect back choise of trump suit!

OK. 6♠ - good bid! But ..... Partner answer 6NT. :rolleyes:

Like it whereagles thinking sequence! We think that same! Partner has both minor aces! Otherwise no values for t/o double. But one problem still. Why suit play as trump at level 7?

Redouble. All redoubles we play as SOS. Part, please, bid +1 and passed all other. This is lucky hand! Redoble, part bid 3spades and im passed.

Remember? All red. You seat at West and hold -/AKTxx/KQxx/KQxx. North opens 2S - weak, 6+ and partner bid takout double. RHO preempt to 4 spades. Your bid?

With hand Kx/Jx/xx/AKQxxxx im bidding nonforcing 2C.

1H rebid minimal hand for me is only Axxx in hearts. With hands Kx/x/Axx/AKQTxxx or Kx/xx/Kx/AKQxxxx we have normal forcing bid 3C.

Perfect reading! Partner held ♠Kx ♥Jx ♦xx ♣AKQxxxx We ended up playing 3NT wich went 2 quick off, while there was slam on 3 strains (Everything onside) One comment - unbelieveable 3NT bid!

6NT. Possible opener hand - Kx/xx/AKQx/AKQxx. 6NT prevent from possible major ruff in another major contract at level 6.

3♠ enables cue bidding. If partner shows ♣K cue bid, tray to slam; otherwise stops in 4♥.

Yeap, i'm think. Contract played from right side (key cards placed in opener hand) Hand not in trouble to 5 one of minor. But opps in trouble - missed 4 in one of major. Probably biddings: 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - X - 3♣ ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - X - 3♦ ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♥ - 4♣ ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♥ - 4♦ ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♥ - X ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♠ - 4♣ ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♠ - 4♦ ... 1♦ - Pass - 2NT* - 3♠ - X... Partners in 2.round likely shows balance and suit preference ...

3♠ as takeout double.

2NT - game force with clubs (privilege of natural transfer system). Later shows diamond support.

3♠. Vul. game looks good. Shows 5+♠ with game balance. Partner, choise contract - 4♥, 4♥ or 3NT.
