Free Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 6C. If partner can bid 5C on his own, vulnerable, with my hand I'll make it 6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted December 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 6C. If partner can bid 5C on his own, vulnerable, with my hand I'll make it 6! Hmm, r hand looks very good to me, especially with r H void and almost solid spades and r D ace. Unless r used to playing with insane pd's I think 7 is a very good option. Since there is no way to find out actually exactly what pd has, maybe this is where judgement comes in handy :) Mike ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irg20 Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 Would be good to know if pass is forcing here. I think it is and I think it is probably also the correct call. Clearly discussion is needed about the meanings of direct and delayed (e.g. after a reopening double by partner) 5S, 5NT and 6C calls. Just bidding the grand, however, might very well be the only way to get there sensibly, it has the merit of not giving any clues to opponents as to which potential ace they have to cash if we end up in 7C missing one ace. Another interesting point is that we might want to bid 7S over 7H. After an initial 5C we might just manage this if advancer passes (forcing) and overcaller chooses to bid 5S over 5H directly (which I will raise to 7S immediately). Best wishes all, Ian PS What are peoples feelings about leading against auctions such as 4H - 5C - 5H - 7C... What should double by opener ask for? How about the lead of the higher of the two unbid suits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikestar Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 I like the forcing pass. If partner doubles you settle for six, if he bids, you bid the grand. I'm also not averse to 7C direct. They will be guessing whether or not to sacrifice, and if they defend, they'll be guessing the opening lead. So many chances for them to go wrong.
