Recommended Posts

April 13,i met this hand on the chinese national bridge association 2007 "canghe autocar" cup.

opps preempt 2 with an noncommittal minor,pd overcall 3 and RHO jump 4 with a big sound.i look my hand and glance the tray,it's cool and jarless .

i take 4nt and plop on tray, in silence.

 

KJX

AXXXX

AQ9

QT

 

my 4NT forced pd to select in minors, i planed to back 5 hint slam 6.

but, when tray back, he bid 5 directly.

i was confused with my hand now,i fetch a coin from my packge,threw in the sky and pray god to decide.

3judgements were looking me and they all smiled :blink: .

 

GOD,he told me passed and it's successed.

 

any clue to signoff 5?

Well "Yes", your hand is not as good as it looks at first glance. Your KJ of S are probably wasted, and quite likely lho is sitting over some of your minor suited cards. Having said this, it is hard to find a hand for pd where he would bid 3H and you don't have a play for slam -

This is NOT a 3H bid. Even with a 7th heart and 1 less C this hand is not worth 3H.

I would have bid 6H
