luke warm Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 seems like 4nt does have the advantage of less misunderstanding, as it asks pard to bid game in his best minor... i really can't think of a better bid, even tho it might go down a lot... worth it, i think...

drmartin Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 it seems to me that 5 diamond is best. Double is for diamond, I suppose.regards,DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Pass, I guess partner has long Spades and some HCP, and 4S can be a nice contract... I wouldn't bypass 4S, and a Dbl is responsive. I pass and let partner come back in the bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Pass, I guess partner has long Spades and some HCP, and 4S can be a nice contract... I wouldn't bypass 4S, and a Dbl is responsive. I pass and let partner come back in the bidding. You are real short in hearts :-) Do you really expect partner, with likely 4 hearts and maybe 5 hearts, to balance back in if you pass? If you pass here, and your LHO bids 4H's, you have time to get in a 4NT bid. But now you give them forcing passes and you have allowed WEST time to show his support (hearts 3-4-6-0 not unlikely). Rather than pass then bid 4NT over their 4H contract, I think it is better to bid 4NT now. With 6-5 and no points and vul right, apply the pressure now. And who knows, we might make five of partners best minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poky Posted November 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Indeed, my bid was 5D. Partner held: KQJ8xJxAKxxKx ... for 5Dx made and a swing of 1170 (550+620) when the club ace wasn't lead B) The 2nd question arises now:What would you have bid with my partner's hand:a) Dbl:P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
