P_Marlowe Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 What are the odds that if partner has an ace it is the correct one? I would think it is more likely to be the ♥A since you are void and have 4 ♦s... and partner has 7 diamonds, i.e. the oddsare 7:6, assume he has only a 6 carder, which would change the odds to 6:7,do you think he bids 3D with Qxxxxx? With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTired Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Either 4N or 5N should work here. Exclusionary RKC for the B/I forum? Is this a joke? 6D gives up on grand when it might be easy to bid. Who knows? Maybe opener has both red aces and 4N makes it easy to bid the grand. But if opener shows 1 ace over 4N, the odds greatly favor bidding 7D. 5N has the advantage that if opener has ♦AQ, opener will just bid 7D and if opener has ♦A only, opener will bid 6C to show it. The problem with 5N is that many B/I have not heard of it or will not know how to bid over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'd bid 5♥ exclusion with an advanced+ partner. 4NT should work just as well though, since he won't have an outside ace. The GSF (stupid name :o since it doesn't force to a grand slam) of course works fine too. Playing with a beginner/intermediate I might just raise to 7♦ (no offence implied).
