Gerben42 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Only two options: Pass and 5♣. You have 4 losers so your hand is surely worth 5♣, the question is when to bid it. Getting ♦ in is utopic, as well as finding partner with enough for slam (but since this was a problem hand either of this must be it :P). I'll just go for 5♣. At the "at the table" auction I'd get in a Lightner X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I'd go for an immediate 6♣. I might throw away a laydown game when partner has ♦K, but it's MP and I want to put the pressure up! I might even make it when partner has ♥K and LHO leads ♥A. ;) If I'd start with 5♣, and the bidding continues to 5♠, I'd just make a Lightner Dbl...

tysen2k Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 5♣. Sure passing first shows strength, but why bother? Will partner ever care that you are strong? Passing first and then 5♣ will make it less likely that they will continue to the 5-level and go down. If you jam now and it gets passed to opener, he may have to be aggressive since from his point of view you could be robbing him.
