the hog Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Imps all Green KQTxxxvoidAKKQT93 (2H) P (3H) ? You are not playing non leaping "Leaping Michaels", so 4C here would not show the blacks. What is your bid? (Strong case for the above mentioned convention).More to follow on this later after I get some answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Forget non-jumping leaping michaels.. just use Misho's Meta overcalls... :-) But ok, I don't have an easy choice. What are the choices? First what I will not even consider: Pass - you got to be kiddingDBL - never with a void and a two suiter3♠ - hoping for a second chance to bid?3NT - don't I see that I have a ♥ void?4♣ - really hoping for another chance? So the real choices are:4♠4NT4♥5♥ I thow 4♠ out as an option as I may make 6♣ opposite as little as ♠xx ♥JTxx ♦xxx ♣Axxx. Partner will figure I am playing him for about 7/8 points for this jump and will not move. 4♥ has the advantage if partner bids 4♠ I can try 5♥ exclusion blackwood. If he bids 5♣ I have to guess what to do, and if he bids 5♦ i can bid 5♠ and he should know what to do if he has a black ace. 4NT is similar to 4♥ but wihtout the advantage of 4♠ followed by 5♥, the same uncertainty over 5♣ but the same strong slam invite with correcting 5♦ to 5♠. 5♥ has a lot going for it. If partner has a trick, he should bid 5NT - pick a suit, or with two suits, bid his lower suit at the six level. IF not, he should bail in 5♥, but hard to do on ♠xx and you may belong in 5♣. All in all, I guess I will bid 4♥s. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted February 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Not a good result on this one where pd doubled - a bid I strongly disagree with. I passed, holding6Q842Q93AJ752 This went 2 off Other table was in 4S. How to get to 6C after this auction start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 4 ♥. And after what pd bids, I'll try for slam. Sometimes preempts work, and if i go down 1 in slam so be it, will do it again next time. Mike :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
