KGR posted a hand v-QJTxx-x-QJTxxxx, that reminded me one hand i played at local club.

[hv=d=s&v=n&s=shqxxxdjxckj9xxxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv]

First seat, non-vul; Will you pass or bid something?

The only reason to pass is your 4crd , but being first hand and not vulnerable at IMPs I would open 3.

4.

 

I'd rather bid 5 than 3.

Our hand:

 

[hv=d=s&v=n&n=sakxxxxhdxxxxcaxx&s=shqxxxdjxckj9xxxx]133|200|Scoring: IMP

3-3

4-4

4-6[/hv]

 

We play 2/1 and not much agreements.

I opened 3, after hearing partner's 3 then 4, i can't be sure what 4 bid means, two suited or some cuebid? I made a imaginative bid 4 (at the table, i thought this may be the only makable game if my partner is one suited hand). My partner found his hand upgraded after my 4, then jump to 6.

I made 5 at last.

What will you do after my partner's 4? (assuming you don't know his hand, he said later he made a tactical bid)

Is my 4 so fault, or i should bid 5 so obviously?

I had passed the hand, I nver have a four card major in a preempt.

 

And after 3 Club 3 Spade, I had rebid 4 Heart. PD will then hopefully end the bidding in 5 Club.

Surely after the 3S response to 3C, the better rebid is 3NT (rather than 4C). No one suggests that as the pre-empting hand you promise stoppers in unbid suits, and whatever you do it tends to deny S support (else cue bid red - which I would interpret 4H to be- or raise to 4S).

 

Once responder effectively knows that there is no S support he needs at least CKxxxxxx and a D control for slam. Those odds have slimmed with the short S (2 short suits is slight). The odds against effectively 1-4-1-7 precisely are high - so now you are banking on DA - or the slam being at best 50% if he holds DK (depending on your style eg DKQ possible?).

 

So - after 3C-3S

3NT responder's obvious bid is 5C with no reason to investigate for "perfection" ...

I lean toward opening 3. My side 4 card major is headed by the Q and I am void in the other major. We might miss a 44 fit, or get buried with offside sitting over me, but I'll take that chance.

 

I won't open 4 here as my don't look good enough and it will be really hard to find if that is where we belong.
