Is the second forcing pass wrong?, should I take some action and bid 6♠ myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 If you make one forcing pass, I believe the rest of the passes become forcing as well, no? Anyway, after pard showed his long 2-suiter, a shot at 6♠ is probably better. Tech-wise (dbl fit, fillers, side aces) and also because in the field, few will find the 6♥ bid, so you're booked for a bad score if you dbl that.

helene_t Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I like your bidding as well as you partner's. Congrats to opps for bidding 6♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I don't see what went wrong, aren't they about to set you in 6♠ on the king of clubs lead? You got a bad score because your opponents bid to 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I don't see what went wrong, aren't they about to set you in 6♠ on the king of clubs lead? You got a bad score because your opponents bid to 6. East is on lead vs 6♠ Josh. But he should probably find the ♣ lead, though some would miss that lead. Apart from that - opps did very well to save in 6♥'s. I think you should bid 6♠ instead of making a second forcing pass at MP, since you expect a bad score defending 5♥X. With your fit, ♦ suit and controls, 6♠ might actually be laydown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Touche, but it still hardly seems like a disaster. There is also a chance if you bid 6♠ of going down on a diamond ruff, so it's tough to blame them. On a better day they can get 800 from 6♥.

Halo Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I like the NS bidding. At the end South has an informed choice. Bidding on will be a shot since partner can surely not have two aces. I would not criticise Soutn whatever decision he made, but personally in Pairs I would bid on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
