flytoox Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 1. 6D, I hope pd can bid 7H.2. 6D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jikl Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I agree with 6♥ and Dbl, another post slipped in. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 6D seems this shows minor suit controls and hearts, so should help partner. 6D I don't have a definite trick, and my holding may mean there is no diamond trick in defence. Looks like -300, versus doubled vulnerable game making to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 1) 6H. 6D is too big of a bid, and I think it may lead to too many bad grands to justify. 2) Pass. Partner would need a lot to make slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 6♥.. no logical way to investigate more. Double. My partner bid 5♦ vul versus not. He had some expectations to take a fair number of tricks, and his diamonds are relativley ratty (AQJ at best), and I have these queens and jacks in the side suits. If I was on lead, I would lead a trump... hope partner has one and leads it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 1. 6♥. Will you criticize pard for bidding a grand after a 6♦ call on: Axx, KQJxxx, void, AKxx? Frankly, I'm worried pard would even after my 6♥ call. 2. Pass. My trump and black quacks might be what pard needs for 6, but double sounds too encouraging.

Codo Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 1. If I could show this hand, I would. And 6 ♦ Will surely not show this hand. So it is always a guess and I believe that I am in a better position to guess then my pd. I will try 6 ♥, really beliving that we make all 13 tricks. 2. A thrid hand non vul 4 ♥ opening could be anything. Pd bid 5 ♦ to make in red and I have some usefull cards- not much more then he expected, but maybe the right ones. I will try 6 ♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 6D seems this shows minor suit controls and hearts, so should help partner. Why does it show minor suit controls? I think I need two controls outside trumps to cue bid. If one was spades I would bid 5S, so they must be clubs and diamonds. I don't see this as high risk because partner will devalue club honours if thinking of seven. On the second I misread the bids for 5H vulnerable. I still think 6D is reasonable but not for the same reasons! One of the recent posts had several people bidding 5D over a 4M preempt with an enormous hand - where our sort of holding would easily make six. At least I understand the doublers now.

mikeh Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 1. 6♥. 6♦ is the sexy bid but, as has been observed, it invites partner to go wrong: there is a good chance he holds AK(x)(x) in a black suit, but why should it be in ♠s? 2. A confident 6♦, not because I expect it to be cold. It may be, but it may be down off the top. However, there will be a second way to win: the favourable opps may well take the push to 6♥: and that is a contract I am morally certain I can beat :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 6H and Pass. Others have given the reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 So if 5S is a cuebid, why isn't 6♣ a cuebid? I think it is quite normal in cue bidding sequences to cue the higher minor in order to focus attention on a major suit weakness. It's fine if you disagree, but it seems a pity to have to give up on exploration with such a promising hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 1. Can partner have SAKx with HKQxxx and not have doubled? I'm betting he has CAKx+ so I offer one+ C ruff DA and nada. Too rosy glassed for me. Double. 2. Double as least encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_delane Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 6H is quite enough. The ♦A opposite partner's likely void is of limited value. Double. Just a guess. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 6H looks fine on the first. A guess, but these ones always are The second hand looks like the classic hand not to bid at the 6 level. However, I doubt they're making much with my bits and pieces, so I'll give them an x card.

neilkaz Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hand 1) 6♥ Hand 2) I prefer X to 6♦ but can see where 6♦ may be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
