pbleighton Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 6H or double. I'm feeling optimistic, 6H. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 X, but as was stated it is more a questionhow do you feel, 6H is the alternative. It would be great, if one could bid 5D as somekind of constructive raise to 5H, but another dayyou will be happy to bid 5D naturally. I believe playing MP, the constructive raise makesmore sense, but this is a highly specifc partnershipagreement. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 dbl. Opps may start with a club ruff against 6♥. I'd rather bid 6N than 6♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I bid 6♣, feeling close to 6♥ but not so convinced after seeing other's posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I'm optimistic, so I'll bid 6NT. The alternative is double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhall Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Speak of the Devil... Last night I held x Ax x KQ109xxxxx. I jumped to 5♣ over an opening 2♣, was greeted by 6♣ to my left, P-6♥. I couldn't take the heat, I bid 7♣. Wrong again. So there's something to be said for the cue bid. Better to double 7 than 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Yes, but you had decent defence against 6H (the ace of trumps for 1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I bid 6C. If I am going to bid 6H anyway (and if you held a gun to my head and said what is the most likely final contract, it would be 6H) I might as well bid 6C. I have 5 likely cover cards for partner's 5-7 losers (typical for a one-bid) - The K and Q of hearts, the A and K of diamonds and the CA. The chance that partner does not have 2 or more diamonds is extremely small. The chance that partner does not have a club is much higher, but the CA may be a useful card in any event. If partner has a reasonable opening bid like: AxxAJxxxxQJxx we are very likely cold for 7H barring a club ruff. Or he could have AxxAJxxxxQJxx--- Now we are cold for 7H on virtually any rational lie of the cards. Having said that, we may not get to 7H even if I bid 6C. But I might as well try.
