mike777 Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I was told this was an easy one, but I got it wrong and thankfully the other table did also. Any feedback welcomed. unfav vul, teams.p=(4h)=? AKQJxxx=void=Ax=AQxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 don't know how easy it is, but i'd bid 6♠... what to do over 7♥ tho? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Their concept of easyness differs from mine, atleast untill I see the full deal B) With my partner I would bid 5♥ wich probably should shows very strong 2 suiter with ♠ (we have other similar voices that mean that), with a pick up one I would just play my 4♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 6♠ - on the 'one useful card idea'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 5H followed by 6S. It's the only way I know to let partner know that prime cards in the minors are golden - maybe he'll get it, maybe not. I don't see how it can be right to take such a deep view as to not force to slam as it takes so little for it to be right. It would be nice here to play 6H as a transfer to 6S with first round heart control and use 5H as a 2-suiter. Winston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Subscribe to the "one useful card" idea. Unless you have very, very detailed agreements on how to proceed after a 4♥ opening, to bid something other than spades and hope pard will understand, and/or will be able to evaluate his hand correctly, is beyond dreamland. So 6♠ it is. And yes, I classify this as an "easy problem" :) A few years ago, Helgemo had a similar hand and a similar problem and just bid 6-something. He was rewarded with a dummy with the expected one useful card (king of trumps). The rest was up to his usual brillance: he made a triple-deep-finesse to land the contract and won that year's Best Declarer Play Award :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hi, Dbl, followed by 5S, if I get the chance. Marlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hi, Dbl, followed by 5S, if I get the chance. Marlowe Agree and I bid 6♠ on 6♥ :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Your 2 loser hand wonders if pard could possibly bid anything but ♦ off a double. You don't need trump support and 5 ♠ (to me) asks about ♥ losers so bid 5 ♥ and when he bids anything other than 5 ♠ bid 6 ♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 don't know how easy it is, but i'd bid 6♠... what to do over 7♥ tho? pass it to pard, and if he has passed it to you, then double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
