proff Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Is here anybody able to tell me which bid SAYC sets with these cards in east: ♣ KQJ104 ♦ AK1098 ♥Ax ♠x in this sequence S: pass W: pass N : 2♠ E: ? Is in this position 3♠ a michaels cue bid? If not this would be the bid, showinga strong hand not suitable for a double because short in ♥. But if 3♠ shd show 5♥5m, wich forcing bid wd be right? Thx Proff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 It depends on your agreements. The default agreement is, I believe (2♠) 3♠ = running minor, asks for stopper(2♠) 4NT = minors However, if you're not sure what you agreed OR you're not sure what the standard agreement is OR you're not sure pard will understand your bid, the best is to stay out of trouble and bid naturally. In that case I would bid 3♦ with your hand, intending to pass pard's 3NT or bid some nr. of clubs if he bids something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 i would bid 4N for the minors. This is quite standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 i would bid 4N for the minors. This is quite standard. Ditto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 4NT is standout. Just to be a little nitpicky: try to rearrange the hand in standard order, i.e. ♠-♥-♦-♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I play leaping Michaels here (4m=GF with m+♥ 55+) and cuebid as basically stopper asking (in reality it shows a long solid suit and something in the unbid suit, could be bidding on after partner's response)). Agree with other posters to overcall 4NT for the minors on this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hi, most likely the situation is not covered in the SAYCbooklet, so the answer is - no agreement. You can ask, what is standard, I would say 4NT forthe minors is, and the hand is on the border.If you believe the hand to weak for 4NT, just bid 3Dhoping that the opponents come to help or partner. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
