inquiry Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Passing gained 7.6 IMPs, this would have been much more if more of the field got to 4S.

Al_U_Card Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Tnx Ben, so the "par" result would be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTired Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Ben, I was serious. You said: 3D is forcing, 4D=5h,4s, and 5D was to play. I really want to know if that is part of a commonly accepted response structure. I hope you haven't taken offense at my normal arrogant style of writing. Maybe I need to pepper my posts with more smileys. :D B) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(there are plenty of standard response schemes, the one I use is very rarely used... most people play 2♦-4♥ as pass correct, But sometimes partner opens 2♦ and you hold a GREAT heart suit, and you want to express THIS IS MY DARN SUIT... so I use jumps to 4♥ (and 4♠ as my suit... so I move pass/correct bids to 3NT (4-4 in majorss), 4C (5 Hearts, 4 Spades) and 4D (4H, 5S). This is also useful if partner has the bid old hand hand as he can pick best spot now. What I was responding to was this quote...If you held this hand 10 times, passing and saving a trick in diam 9 times when partner has a weak-2 will be washed away by the 1 time you miss the grand. Where you counted the number of times a pass was made and good versus bad things happened... I assure you that I would never pass with this hand, and I told Hannie that when he tabled the hand (I then thanked him as I knew we had stolen then blind...and were is a nice and safe contract... my superior playing skill managed to win 7D (with that eight card suit and I had ♦Tx), and the heart ACE.... not quite sure how I could fall out of those... .

lenze Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I once tabled a 6 card suit, and at the time remarked THAT was a record!! The previous record was 4!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 It's going to be some number of ♦s for sure -- non vul -- 5♦ seems pretty good; if not 3♦ followed by 4♦ if pard bids a major... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
