Guest Jlall Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 5D, i have a 9 card suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchett Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 5♦, consistent with what I bid on a similar hand in another thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Yeah.. 5♦ for now. I think the real problem will be if opps take the push to 5♥. (In which case I'm tempted to bid 6.. lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 anything but 3♦ is plain wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 anything but 3♦ is plain wrong. I completely agree. Oh wait what the heck...you said 3♦, not 5♦? Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 5D is ridiculous, cannot imagine anybody here bidding that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Han, I think you have become arrogant since the forum indy :lol: But OK, Han and Gonzalo against the rest, cannot argue with succes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotShot Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 You hold 9♦ and partner should have 2 for his 1NT bid, so you have a 11 card fit.With combined 19-21 HCP and an 11 card fit, there is no system that allows you to safely bid game, if it is possible. So you can guess 5♦ or irritate partner with 3♦ (he might try 3NT over that because he will expect more HCP). I prefer 5♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Han, I think you have become arrogant since the forum indy :lol: But OK, Han and Gonzalo against the rest, cannot argue with succes. Become? Anyway, I wasn't serious, I voted for 5♦. Just wanted to feel how donn-style would work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Just wanted to feel how donn-style would work for me. So how did it feel? Please repeat the experiment 100 times to assure it was not a confounding effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halo Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 5D Might as well go straight there I think with this kind of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asc Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 The opponet said 3NT for a good result! My lead was ♥A, but had to play ♠A too maybe. Anyway- I like this bid- not perfect, but with idea. This is the LINK:http://www.freewebs.com/kotsev/za%20BBO.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 No votes for 4 clubs, assuming that that's Gerber? If partner has 3 aces, I'll take my chances in 6♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Feels good. Finally the world is starting to understand me. Of course you will find it feels even better when you confine the comments to bids that are ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you will find it feels even better when you confine the comments to bids that are ridiculous. How do you know that? Have you ever tried it? Well, more of the world is starting to understand me anyway. The rest will stick to telling me what a fool I'm making of myself while still retaining their own credibility. See, you aren't the only one capable of sarcasm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerben42 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 About the other discussion, what should these bids mean? 1NT (2♥) 4♣1NT (2♥) 4♦ I think they should be Leaping Michaels (Wereldconventie). 5 ♠ + 5 minor, forcing Similarly: 1NT (2♦) 4♣ = ♣ + major1NT (2♦) 4♦ = both majors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 sure, why not world convention? ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I think most play Texas over 1NT - (2D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I think most play Texas over 1NT - (2D) I think most play "No agreement" on the 4-level over 1NT (2♦) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I think most play Texas over 1NT - (2D) I think most play "No agreement" on the 4-level over 1NT (2♦) Yes, but Han needed to make a statement that would make him feel good.
