Finch Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 5C NV against V4C love all I quite fancy 2C at game all but don't mind 4.2C at red, but also don't mind 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I find that bidding 4♣ is surprisingly effective, especially on hands with a bit of defense (like this one). Bidding 5♣ is usually pretty easy to double, and usually goes off (often opposite no game). The 4♣ bid is much harder to penalize when it is down one or two, and people often strain to compete over it and end up going down in a hopeless game.

pclayton Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 5C NV against V4C love all I quite fancy 2C at game all but don't mind 4.2C at red, but also don't mind 4.4 or 5 depending on vulnerability. By the way, I have a running discussion with Chris Larsen about these kinds of hands and moving past 3N. In the USBF yesterday he frowned when Brad and Fred had the following auction on these two hands: [hv=d=w&w=sxhxxdkxcakt9xxxx&e=skj9xhqxxdaqjxcqj]266|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] Brad opened 1♥ and his LHO overcalled 2♥. Fred made a neg x and Brad jumped to 4♣. They ended up in 5♣, but the defense had an accident and didn't cash the A♠. The other table made 13 tricks in NT on a low spade lead (actually being pushed to 4N). Chris was critical of 4♣ since it bypasses 3N, which is the only makable game (Fred's LHO had ♥Ax). Frankly, I thought it was dubious for Brad to pass 3N even if he chose to rebid 3 only clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I would probably bid 4♣ in all circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
