keylime Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I like 4♣ a lot more than a confusing 3♠. You have a rebid coming to ask about the diamond situation (5♠). Good problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I like 4♣ a lot more than a confusing 3♠. You have a rebid coming to ask about the diamond situation (5♠). Good problem. I don't see how making a cuebid for partner with a void is less confusing than simply rebidding your long suit? There are some hands where partner would raise the 3♠ bid on singleton jack and then we could find a grand. Unfortunately this isn't one of them, partner would rebid 4♥ in either case and I would get to 6NT. Not 7NT on the first and 7♣ on the second :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Here's the thing tho - I have privately hated a 4 level bid over a 3M jump bid as a cuebid; pard had told me their hand and I want to help pard get to the right contract. I also don't want to lose the club suit either if pard's on a 6-4 (or better). I have another bid coming to me and I want to help pard make the right decision. Since I have super spades, and 2nd round diamond control, I want to drive to slam. I can still get to 7♠ or NT. I can't get this information by 1h-1s-3h-3s-3n-4c because the diamond control still is out there to determine, and the trump suit is yet well defined. I definitely can't get this info from a 4NT ace-asking bid either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
