jillybean Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 1♦, I clicked 2♦ in the poll by mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 5♦, bid what I think I can make. If LHO bids 5♥ I can double... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 5♦, bid what I think I can make. If LHO bids 5♥ I can double... Is such an action double supposed to show spades? I don't think so. If LHO bids 5♥ I might bid 5♠ because p didn't double , or I might pass because opps could have missed slam. Agree with 5♦ though.

Fluffy Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Helene, playing in a 5 card suit with a side 8 card suit is highly dangerous, just give parnter a yarborough 3514 and you make 5 tricks in spades, 9 in diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vang Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 it seemed fun to pass so i voted this. to my surprise, i'm not alone ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But playing with you it would be safe to bid 5♠ then since you would correct to 6♦ with only three spades B) Anyway, I guess you're right, I should just pass. Mission completed.

jdonn Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 1♦, I absolutely love love love taking these hands slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomi2 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 this is a normal hand for a convention "developed" by a german open player (a doctor, for insiders) - easy 4♦ opener, long ♦ with 5 card major side suit, sometimes for tactical reasons (or if you forget the convention) its only long dias...4♣ is ♣+major, same thing with only clubs but for tactical reasons your major may be ♦ - but this is very rare (with 4nt beeing both minors) my junior partner and me adopted this convention, after we saw it beeing used by him in the last Cavendish and we had 3 or 4 hands, we could open 4m we never argued further bidding exept of penalty doubles, 1400 and 1100 were the only scores we had after these openings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 btw if you bid 5D please don't bid again ever :) It happens that you'd like to barr partner from bidding the rest of the session, but YOURSELF? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 5♦ for me as I don't know who can make what, but with a 6 HCP weak freak, I want to preempt. I will sell out to 5♥ at these colors rather than bidding 5♠ .. neilkaz .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 2NT, showing diams + major. Then 5♦ over 4♥. What, you don't play (1m)-2NT as other minor + a major? Well, I guess you're stuck then... lol :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gifster Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 1) Partner could have as little as Kxx(x) and a stiff D to make 6S possible!2) The opps figure to be able to make LOTS of hearts. 3) My pard won't like it but I try 4S!! I'll rescue myself in D if necessary. It rates to win a lot and lose very little. If partner can't take a joke I just bid 2C and rebid D if P bids Hs I hope partner will visualize something like this hand.What would you do with AQxxxx - QJTxxxx - Is this a good understanding?

Firstly I guess you don't mean Kxx of S and a stiff D, but Kxxx of S. Secondly the odds of D and S breaking when you hold an 8-5 shape are somewhat remote to say the least.Thirdly look at Gonzalo's post above. Lets put it to the opps - 5D for me.

Gerben42 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 What, you don't play (1m)-2NT as other minor + a major? Well, I guess you're stuck then... lol Huh? I don't play that either. Instead, 2m = spades and another. Oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I've only ever held an 8-5 hand once but based on that one hand :P as well as advice taken from several books I'd take this slowly and bid 1♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
