Blofeld Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Partner deals and opens 1♠, and right hand opponent passes. Can you construct a hand on which you would now bid 6♠? If scoring method or vulnerability would help, please feel free to adjust that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_c Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 I can't make sense of it as a pre-empt, so maybe partner is invited to bid seven with the ♠A. Something like ♠ Kxxxx♥ -♦ AKQJxxxx♣ - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 ♠Axxxx(x) or Kxxxx(x) and a side 5/6 card suit headed by the Ace and a void somewhere.But at least 11 cards in trump and the side suit and a void. GBB :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Only when NV vs V, with very limited openings, without any points in responder's hand, and when we have all ♠s together (opps will have slam). To bid 6♠ to make is ridiculous, so it should be a preempt imo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 I can't make sense of it as a pre-empt, so maybe partner is invited to bid seven with the ♠A. Something like ♠ Kxxxx♥ -♦ AKQJxxxx♣ - 5NT should work fine on this hand. Unless you have an agreement, 6S with a good hand is awful. I don't want to figure out what it asks for at the table, I'm sure that I won't get it right. I agree with Free, this should be a preempt, but I don't expect it ever to come up.

Blofeld Posted October 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 My thought was that I might want to bid it if I have a very distributional hand with enough spades that I know partner's opening was a psyche. Then I wondered if there was any 'valid' meaning for the bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfgauss Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 My thought was that I might want to bid it if I have a very distributional hand with enough spades that I know partner's opening was a psyche. Then I wondered if there was any 'valid' meaning for the bid. If we hold AKQJ1098765 A A 2, I suppose it's reasonable. I'm not sure partner won't lie to us when we bid 4NT (or pass!), but clearly that's better if not. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Qxxxxxxx - x xxxx sounds like a reasonable 6S bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 nope, no hand I would bid 6S on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I like Andy's aproach, seems very sensible to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 playing speedball or having real big time troubles and feeling behind in a team match are the only thinkable reasons besides the one suited hand in spades like Andy showed.

Walddk Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Can you construct a hand on which you would now bid 6♠? Only if I hate my partner. Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Having no agreements about how to show voids, maybe even no agreements about RKC (or similar), I can imagine a lot of hands with which I would bid 6♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Not sure I'd ever do this to me pard with the boss suit. I've done it in a pickup game though. The hand probably had a side xx, solid side suit, void and 5 or 6 trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 The hand probably had a side xx, solid side suit, void and 5 or 6 trump. If I were going to gamble with a hand like AQxxx xx AKQJxx --- I think I would bid SEVEN spades instead of 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double ! Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I can't make sense of it as a pre-empt, so maybe partner is invited to bid seven with the ♠A. Something like ♠ Kxxxx♥ -♦ AKQJxxxx♣ - 5NT should work fine on this hand. agree personally, I am having difficulty constructing any hand that might respond 6S that couldn't/ shouldn't be bid some other way.
