pbleighton Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 The bidding has gone 1S-P-1NT-P-2C-P-2S-P-?, and you hold:1) AK10xx-Ax-xx-KQJx2) AK10xx-Axx-x-KQJx3) AKQ10x-Axx-x-K10xx4) AK10xx-Kx-xx-AQJx5) AK10xx-Kxx-x-AQJx What are your bids? Do scoring, vulnerability, and 2/1-SAYC make a difference? Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Hi Peter, my pd should have about 5-9 HCPs two spades and at most 3 clubs for his bidding so far.He has no single suited hand. He has no maximum, else he could have bid 2 NT or another creative call.So I would speculate on baisse and pass in all cases.If my pd thinks, that 1 NT is a better place to play even with 3 card spade support and now has 3 cards and decent values, he would have jumped to 3 Spade or bid 2 Spade at his first turn. There are just some but very big reasons to bid: IF you need a swing or if you are already on fire because this is one of the days where you are not able to make anything wrong.

luis Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 1) AK10xx-Ax-xx-KQJx PassI don't like the doubleton diammond nor Ax in hearts It's very likely to have 3 losers in the red suits and one in clubs or spades (or both) so this is a pass to me. 2) AK10xx-Axx-x-KQJx 4s probably down 1Singleton diammond is good and clubs are solid 0/1 losers probably. The Axx of hearts plays well if pd has an honor the K or even the Q are good with my holding. I have 5 losers but chances of pd covering two are very good know. hQ and sQ can be enough to win 4s or hK and cA or dA and hQ, etc.... 3) AKQ10x-Axx-x-K10xx 3hClubs are weak and I can't see a place to park the 4th club so I can easily lose 3 clubs a diammond and a heart or even more. But if pdhas a good minimum with the cA I want to play game. The hQ and cA can be anough so a try is a try. 4) AK10xx-Kx-xx-AQJx 3h probably going down in 3s or 4s :-)Another try this time doubtful but well..... I need help in hearts if pd has the hA and cK I'm cold in 4s so I'm inviting with a 3h bid. 5) AK10xx-Kxx-x-AQJx 4s directlyy, expect to make it.
