whereagles Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 huh.. you seem to have a 2♥ bid tailor-made for this situation, so wtp? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_c Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 2♥ promises 4 trumps and shortness? Then I look no further. South is surely worth a slam try opposite that. I would also bid 2♥ playing SAYC. For what it's worth, I think the best strategy with the North hand is to pass as dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Just to finish up the auction, as I would suggest (if the system will allow it): 2H (12-14, with shortness)2S (cheapest call = relay asking for shortness)2NT (short spade)3C (club A/K/Q, starts slam move)3D (Diamond first-round control)3H (good trumps -- two top honors)4D (first-round and second-round diamond control, no two top clubs)4S (spade Ace, must have Ace or King of clubs inferentially)6H (OK, I'll bite) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
