hallway Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 How should the Bidding have gone on these two hands for an optimum result ?

Free Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 If it's me vs me, the bidding will go as follows: Hand 1:1H - 1S - Pass - 2C2D - 2S - 3D - 3NTall pass or someone bids 4D Hand 2:2H - Dbl - 3H - 3SPass - 3NT - all pass But then again, it's probably not the best way to bid in the beginner/intermediate forum, because I open pretty agressive when NV...

inquiry Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I think Luis got them both right (I agree with his auctions). So my reply is really more to address his issue of making things look a little better here. Hand 1Dealer NorthNon Vul T97 AK983 8632 A 2 AQJ863 QJ4 T762 Q4 AK KQJ9865 T K54 5 JT975 7432 North EAST SOUTH WEST1http://mnet.bg/~mfn/h.gif......1http://mnet.bg/~mfn/s.gif.......Pass......2http://mnet.bg/~mfn/c.gifPass....2http://mnet.bg/~mfn/s.gif.......Pass......3http://mnet.bg/~mfn/c.gifPass....Pass....Pass Both of my auctions are the same auction as Luis gave. Luis, to make the hands look right, you have to stick them inside the code command (code) hands go here (/code) where square brackets are used instead of the ones I showed. Changing the font no longer seems to work, and HTML table commands do not seem to work either. Inserting the little card symbols uses the IMG command and a link to where you can find one of them, but if the page with the link goes away, so does the symbol. :) Thus, I will use just the Sp, Cl, He, Di, Ps, and NT for my bids.

Trpltrbl Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Hand1: West North East South- 1h 1s pass2c pass 2s pass3c pass pass pass Hand2West North East South- pass 1d pass1s dbl 3d pass3nt pass pass pass (How do you make this look nice on this horrible software?) I agree, looks fairly straight forward. On second hand depends on style, but after you bid 3http://mnet.bg/~mfn/d.gif you will get to best spot. On first hand West has to understand that to have a play for 3 NT pd needs to have Ax or xx of http://mnet.bg/~mfn/c.gif, and at least 2 quick tricks if you want to make 3 NT. And that is not looking good after the 2 http://mnet.bg/~mfn/s.gif, so better sign of in 3 http://mnet.bg/~mfn/c.gif. <_< Mike ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
