As previously, I was South, playing with a semi-regular partner, E/W were pickups. East made 4♥ easy at the table by cashing the ♣ A when in with the ♥ A. Forcing me to ruff in dummy instead would be painful, but I think the contract could still be made. So, give it to me straight, doctor, I can take it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 I wouldn't bid 1N. Agree with north bidding and agree with 4H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 I wouldn't bid 1N. Agree with north bidding and agree with 4H. Ditto, though I have been trying out bidding 1nt NV with this hand type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebound Posted October 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 LOL it strikes me funny we can have such different opinions on the previous hand, Mike, and yet agree on this hand - taking for granted 1NT may have been more good luck than good management. I am confident that our reasons for bidding 4♥ with the South hand coincide. The A of ♦ opposite expected shortness, the low doubleton in partner's suit offering good prospects for setting it up while the hand is essentially unharmed by spade leads are all favorable, not to mention the expected strength on our right making any missing high cards in hearts finessable. We apparently different completely on the other hand I posted. Your opinion of the contast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 As I prefaced I see many on BBO bid as on your example one hand. I just always wondered what their thinking was, now I have an idea. 1) I do not like to sacrifice very often compared to most.2) I sac even less vul vs nv3) 2s by partner makes me think they have exactly 3 spades very often on this auction.4) I think there may be a reasonable chance on defense, some of my spades may cash and the rest may tap declarer. Also trumps may be breaking poorly. IF I remember I also have hcp in clubs.5) Many may sac. as a 2 way try, I much prefer to defend and not try and steal the hand. Your way may be winning bridge.6) On the above hand north is 6-5 with a void, bidding to make not sacrifice :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
