What is your plan? Oops, last option should be "raise if partner bids 5m". Edited March 30, 2007 by cherdano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo81 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I guess I'll vote for "4NT, raise if partner bids 5♣" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Can I vote for "4NT, call director when partner bids 4♦"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 This is one place where Mishovnbg's "funny raptor" would have been useful. What how can raptor apply here? Misho uses 1NT overcall to show 4 in other major and five+ in a minor, or 5+ in the major and the lower side suit. Such that michaels after a major opening bid is always the two highest suits. In this case, you would know partner has the reds. Not playing this way, there is a possibility partner has hearts and clubs. If partner has hearts and clubs, you will want to be in six clubs I would guess. If partner has hearts and diamonds, I think 4♠X is as good as anything. So this raises a probability problem. 1) Partner is more liklely to have hearts and diamonds, and I think 4♠X is the percentage action based upon frequency.... 2) However, even if partner has hearts and diamonds, we might make 5♦ or they might take a 5♠ "save" and if partner has clubs and hearts, we should have a play for 6♣. So the greatest upside for imps is not the save percentage pass. So, I will hedge my bets. At MP, I play the odds that partner has the reds and pass. At IMPs I try for the biggest scores and go with 4NT. Why not 5♣? If I bid 5♣ and partner has the reds, he will correct to 5♦, which is fine with me. But if he has hearts and clubs, he will pass, which is not. Bidding 4NT we find out what his minor is, and we get the lead up to his hand... both good ideas imo.

Codo Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I bid 5 Diamond and if pd correct this to 5 Heart I correct him to 6 Club.But if I read the rules correct I must bid 4 NT and raise a possible 6 club call to reach the same spot.
