Given that my bidding of the red suits on the first 2 rounds of bidding were natural, what bids can I make on rounds 3 4 and 5 which would maximise the chance of partner finding a club lead. Is it too esoteric to think that after doubling 5♦ and 6♥ a pass of 7♠ would be saying lead a ♥ or ♦ and therefore a double of 7♠ suggests an unusual lead which means clubs?

ArtK78 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Don't make pointless doubles of cue bids of suits that you already bid. Now, when you double 7♠, partner will know that you do not want one of your suits led. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 yeah, bidding clubs instead of any of those pointless doubles would had worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bid_em_up Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 6♦ 6♥ dbl 6♠ The double of 6H is pointless, the opponents are never playing there. Assuming you are willing to sacrifice over 6♠, just bid 7C. Since you are taking the sac vs. 6♠, this should be the suit you want led when defending 7♠. There is no need to double 7S now. Alternatively, passing 6H and doubling 7S should send the same message. (Partner should already know that a diamond is not cashing, and rule it out).

Guest Jlall Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 If you want partner to lead a club maybe you shouldn't be doubling 5D and 6H? Were those doubles designed simply to get the lead you don't want or to help the opponents have more room to figure out the nature of their controls? I mean seriously you tell partner to lead TWO suits and then ask us how to get him to lead the third suit. If you had not Xed 5D and 6H and then you doubled 7S do you ever think he would get this lead wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, when you double 7♠, partner will know that you do not want one of your suits led. Agreed. Partner will probably also work out that all the dude bid was cue, cue, cue and cue so probably has the red suits controlled and a source of tricks, clubs. Though would be funny if S then 'imaginatively' removed to 7NT. Pass/Double says to lead ♦/♥ respectively? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceptic Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 do you ever think he would get this lead wrong? would not be the first time I had LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
