Guest Jlall Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 playing BAM you pick up KJT98xx -- -- AQJ9xx. You open 1S, 3D on your left surprisingly passed back to you. Your bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 4 only clubs. Misfit alert. Something strange is going on here and I don't want to be caught in the crossfire. If partner shows some signs of life, I will reevaluate then. In the meantime, I'm not going to go overboard on this, although I don't expect to pick up this hand again... ever. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 5♣. Obviously with my luck this will lead to one off, but it seems like a reasonable call. I don't think I want to be passed in 4♣, or bid 4♠ and miss a club slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartA Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 4♠ or 4♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 5♣. Obviously with my luck this will lead to one off, but it seems like a reasonable call. I don't think I want to be passed in 4♣, or bid 4♠ and miss a club slam. I tend to agree with Adam that 4♣ is not enough but in order not to bypass 4♠ I would try 4♦ and if partner bid ♥, I'd bid 4♠ suggesting ♠ and ♣ Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 hello everyone Joker-gib is 'almost' on my wavelength. I suggest that partner should read me for 6S and 5C if I pull 1S-(3D)-p-p-4D-4H back to spades. If you did not want to play hearts, why offer partner a choice and later pull. If you were only S/C hand why didn't you just bid 1S-(3D)-p-p-4C(5C?) I would like to discuss it first, howeve, it just seems like a good idea. It does not handle 7-6 hands exactly, however, it does handle the 6-5 hands(and hopefully copes with 7-6) I am adding the basic idea it to my system notes. Giving up on that six(seven/) card major to play in a 5 card club suit just seems wrong. Hi Jlall I think that partner with one spade and 3 clubs might strongly consider playing 4S 'if' you have shown a six bagger. Using the 4D cuebid should 'wake' partner up to the idea that something strange is going on. If you had a weak six card spade suit, I would simply bid 4C with 5(+) clubs. His 1S and 3C hand should now correct. Partner might be drooling while 'waiting with bated breath' for a reopening double. He might pick a trump suit while silenting listing the other times that you have 'misheard' the auction. Regards, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 5♣ looks the proper bid if we wanna find slam, but BAM can tell us that 4♠ is our best possible contract. I'll try 5♣, just ecause don't wanna break my brain on next round if partner happens to bid 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 At the table I don't know why but I bid 4C. I suffered the embarassment of playing 4C on this hand (pard had 2 spades, 4 clubs to the ten and the HA and DK). All was well since we won the board (our counterparts got to 6).

Fluffy Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Anyway I don't think this is a MisIry hand, I don't think the system copes wll with 2 voids, specially when partner grabs both red aces :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
