han Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Partner could have:Kx=KJx=QJ9xxx=xx, I sure hope not!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartA Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Partner could have:Kx=KJx=QJ9xxx=xx, no way!! With that hand, to open 1D was already too much (to open 2D was better). Freely bid 2D again? give me a break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T9x,Qx,KQJT98x,A I am thinking a possible slam, with all the good cards in majors, especially after pd bid 3S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 3N Frankly, I am beginning to regret the whole thing: it would not surprise me to find that the best contract was 3♦ :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 4D. My hand has on the auction disintergrated to a 4333 11-count invitational raise. Hope partner can pass this. Winston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Pard has warned that his diamonds are weakish with 3♦. With decent or half-decent diamonds he would have bid 3NT himself, so ♦QJxxxx is DEFINITELY a possibility. Passing 3♦ was probably the best judgement bid. Now I think 3NT is a must. But not because it can make, but because there has been WAY too much bidding already and pard might confuse 4♦ for some sort of slam try!!!

P_Marlowe Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Partner could have:Kx=KJx=QJ9xxx=xx, no way!! With that hand, to open 1D was already too much (to open 2D was better). Freely bid 2D again? give me a break! Hi, if you open Kx=KJx=QJ9xxx=xx,you have to bid 2D as wll, and I prefer a direct 2D bidto a delayed 2D bid. Do you really want to sit for partners double? You have diamonds, you are minimum,you have no interest in defence, just show it. I agree, that given the colours, a weak two bid in diamonds would have been better, but hedid not make this bid. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 3NT. Partner knows my ♣ are not KQJT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hi everyone In the SAYC discussion thread, Kx KJx QJ9xxx xx is supposed to be a possible opening bid? :) So bidding 1D-1S-2Ds shows somewhere between an 'Ace less' 'Ten less' wonder 10(My favorite 'tie breaker' method yields 9.7HCP here) 'count' and 15HCP I will offer my own choice of bidding methods, however, I will clearly state that this is non standard. I do play 4C* as a 'choice of game cuebid' in this auction(Game before Slam) Making the decision 'without' consulting with partner seems a bit much. He will rebid 4D holding 109x Qx KQJ1098x A and I will raise to the 5D game. Jlall suggests a decent auction to 3NT after noting that this auction 'expressed' considerable doubt. Well done. Final note. If you somehow were forced to open 1D(perhaps at gunpoint?) with Kx KJx QJ9xxx xx 'playing' standard rebidding 2Ds over 2C is the correct bid while playing standard methods IMHO. Regards, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 4♠, partner doesn't know our ♠s are that good. [EDIT: sorry I'm nuts, this bidding shows only 2♠ with no ♣ honnor, I bid 5♦ hoping partner doesn't have anything in ♥ (but everythign in ♦)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
