the hog Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Too good for a support X, but this has turned out really well. I bid 4S followed by 5D. (After hearing pd's hidden response). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 4nt followed by 6♣ to offer choice of slam or 5nt pick a slam. nothing else come to my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I would have started with a Diamond reverse and then shown Heart support. I'm also a 4♠ cue bidder. (And would rebid 5♦) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmunte1 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 The bid untill now is fine. I'll continue with 4♠ cue-bid, and over 5♣ i'll bid 5NT (asking for good trumps for 7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I prefer a support double to 2♦. Put the ♥KJ in the ♦suit, and 2♦ is better. Not sure what I'd do now; probably 4N at the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 (How can partner bid 6♣ over 6♦? :rolleyes: ) 4♠ seems ok. I also didn't like the support Dbl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Why are we cuebidding? Seems like an easy 4N bid, then if partner has 1 + Q +CK we can just bid 7. When partner has 0 or 3 I would just bid 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Too good for a support X, but this has turned out really well. There is no maximum for a support double, and in fact any other bid on this hand (if playing support doubles) would be dumb. Amazing how it turned out really well, huh! I would bid keycard, don't see how complicating things will help much. If partner shows 0 or 3 I will assume the heart queen or at absolute worst a finesse for the queen and bid 6♥.

ArtK78 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Agree with jdonn. If you do not make a support double, you are denying 3 card heart support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Agree with jdonn. If you do not make a support double, you are denying 3 card heart support. Well not to argue with an agreement, but that's not what I said :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Absolutely agree with the double, can't see that a ♦ reverse could be better.Now I think I'll just ask for keycards and get to 6 or 7 depending on partner's replies.

Codo Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Why are we cuebidding? Seems like an easy 4N bid, then if partner has 1 + Q +CK we can just bid 7. When partner has 0 or 3 I would just bid 6. of course... no need to cuebid around.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph23 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) We play no limit on support X. Isn't that standard? Let's support with support before the opps get into their ♠ act and leave partner in the dark... 4nt now over 4♥. Partner doesn't have the trump Ace so we settle in 6. I expect him to have the Queen of ♥ and it's more likely that overcaller or partner has the ♣ King, so this looks pretty good. nb - we play kickback so 4♠ would be RKC for ♥ and 4nt would be a ♠ cue bid. Partner would bid 4nt (1st step) over 4♠ kickback-inquiry to show 0 or 3... I can then still ask for the Queen if I have a mind to, via 5♣. (Not saying I would...) Q for RKC afficianados: If you play regular RKC (not kickback) and 1430-style responses, and get the 5♦ (zero or 3) response over 4nt, you don't have a Queen-ask except 5♠, do you? 5♥ must be a sign-off it seems.....

Rebound Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Ralph, if you're "going by the book*," then 5♥ becomes the Q ask if the RKB responder holds 3, to play if he/she holds 0. *I'm referring to Eddie Kantar's Roman Keycard Blackwood: Slam Bidding for the 21st Century.
