the hog Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 I'd like to be in 5D Misho. Hard to get there. After the lead, duck a H win the return, cash the high cards and cross ruff. Hope to lose 1H and 1D only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 N open, NS not vul, WE vul (silent), team match N AKxxxKxxxxAKx S xxxxxxxAxxxxx 1D 1H1S 2C (2C = either signoff in D or game invite)3D 4D (3D = good hand, invite over 2D pass hand)5D Pass The hard bid here is 4D. I play the 3D as non-forcing, but willing to continue over a normal "pass" of 2D over openers "forced" 2D rebid. This hand has 4 card dimaond fit, the DA, and two doubletons. It is probably just (barely) worth a raise to 4D (non-forcing). The play: No chance if Diamonds are 4-0, easy if Diamonds are 2-2. Ron's line is probably ok, but I think I don't lead a Heart, instead I just go ahead and play like this...

mishovnbg Posted November 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 N Full deal: AKxx x Kxxxx AKx Qxxx JxxKJxx AQx9 QJ10Jxxx Qxxx xx xxxxx Axxx xx Bidding at table (Precision)1CL-1DI, 2DI - all pass, lead mid SP No 3NT - 3-1 in DI. 5DI with SP lead is makeable, but need to play without drow any trump! Well done Ron! Nice bidding Ben, only question is can S evaluate 2 dubletons for 5 minor game? I think instead of 3DI, 3CL is better, showing exactly hand with shortness in HE and sign off can be also in CL, right? Misho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 Yes, 3 Clubs is even better. :-) Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 1D 1H1S 2C (2C = either signoff in D or game invite) Nice to play 2 way checkback here. I assume this means 1D 1H1S 2D is a GF?, as with invit hand you go via 2C and then raise 2D to 3D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use 2C as game try or signoff in D, 2D as game force, and 2NT as signoff in Clubs or some invite hands iwth fair hearts and nothing else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say you run smoothly up to now. Now you can't get back to your hand.If you play a heart, either side won and cash the last spade to set your contract.
