inquiry Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Not terribly excited. ♠Q is very niceLike my club intermediatesNot happy about diamond KingHearts are real good Partner is probably bidding slam no matter what I do (from experience, a 5D cue;s don;t want to stop. We might have grand however. I assume partner has club fit (didn't bid 3H), and I bid 5H as my only cooperation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I don't like my hand on this auction. I treat it as a minimum. Hence I chose 5H as my bid over 5D. Partner is in control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I cannot really answer that question too well, because I don't know what my partner and I have agreed to as far as a 5♦ call in this auction. If this asks for a diamond control for a heart slam, I have one, but not first-round. So, I'll bid 6♥. If it is Exclusion, I don't really care how much I do or do not like my hand -- I'll simply answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Normally partner would have clubs for this auction, but I see in the comment that partner did not have a forcing 2♥ bid available. I'll bid 5NT to cater to whatever suit partner is supporting (clubs or hearts); I think I want to drive to slam and not play in 5♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 today's partner hand was: ♠A10xxx♥J8xx♦♣AK9x Partner wasn't really happy with my 5 heart negative. He was actually quite upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Your partner greatly confused the auction by not splintering for clubs as his rebid. Now you got into an auction where no one really knows what the bids mean exactly, so you had to guess and guessed wrong, I can't really blame you.
