Free Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 is there a reason why I didn't bid 2♠ in the first round? 4♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 There are obvious reasons not o bid 2 ♠ in the first round- pd will simply visualisze another hand.But I agree wit 4 Spade now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdano Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 is there a reason why I didn't bid 2♠ in the first round? 4♠ A strong jump shift with just two kings and no 1st round control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bid_em_up Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 is there a reason why I didn't bid 2♠ in the first round? If I had to guess, 2S would be construed by most as a weak jump shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi, 4S, partner needs 3 Aces and the King of clubsto make slam playable, i.e. you need him to hold fairly specific cards, and he already anounced a min opener, I would suggest you give up and that you simply bid 4S.

inquiry Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi, 4S, partner needs 3 Aces and the King of clubsto make slam playable Ax xx Axx Axxxxx is a cold slam. That would be an extremely great slam, but it is not a cold slam. Someone could ruff a diamond on lead, they take heart ace and ruff another diamond, down two. This is exceedingly unlikely, in fact, diminishing small in fact but cold is another issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halo Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 4S Some people obviously (despite occasional protestations) must have fabulously efficient systems. I would have bid 4S immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
