Blofeld Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 1♠ (3♣) 4♣ (5♣) 5♦ (pass, I assume) 5♥ (pass) 5NT seems a good start, but I'm not sure that I'd actually push beyond the 6 level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 4NT, you want to play in slam, no fooling around and start finding out what you need to know.And nice way to find out if pd kept up with his Dopi-Ropi.After his pass of 5♣ you bid 5♦ asking for trump Q. He bids 5♥, showing the Q and ♥ K and you bid 5 NT asking for any extra Kings. And he shows you the ♣ K and you bid 6♦ letting pd know that with ♦ K or shortness you want to play grand. And he bids it. GBB :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blofeld Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I think you've got the wrong hands bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trpltrbl Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I think you've got the wrong hands bidding. Yup. I did, sorry. GBB :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 4♦, splinter.But I think it's going to be hard for pd to make a grandslam try, since I need all specific cards and don't think there is time to find them all out.

Blofeld Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Well bearmum's method will get you there (how can south, with four aces, not raise to seven?), but I don't like the 6♠ bid as could easily be off two cashing aces, or making seven. I accept that north, holding second round controls everywhere, could launch into Blackwood (better than 6♠ direct, IMO), but this seems non-ideal. I'm also not a huge fan of the 4♦ splinter with the this hand, as partner may well undervalue his ♦K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I think that 4C is the only possibility for the first bid. I play 4D as a support jump shift, so splinter is out. Over 5C it gets very hard. Some play that 5NT is still RKC in auctions like this, that might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 1S 3C 4C 5CPass Pass X pass5D pass 5H pass6C pass 6D pass7S not at all clear, but I do like a pass over 5C with the south hand. Pass+pull=strong plus if partner doesn't X you'd really like to here what he bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blofeld Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I like the suggestion of the pass over 5♣. That certainly helps matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 1♠ (3♣) 4♣ (5♣) 5♦ (pass, I assume) 5♥ (pass) 5NT seems a good start, but I'm not sure that I'd actually push beyond the 6 level. This is exactly what I though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
