Aeneas Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 [hv=d=n&n=sa10963haj1073dj103c&w=sqj8hq65dqcq109642&e=s7hk9d8652cakj873&s=sk542h842dak974c5]399|300|[/hv] North initiates the bidding with 1♠. How should the bidding go and who should win? This one made me ponder for a bit but eventually you can see who should get the contract. Also I do not know the proper SAYC technique on how to bid with these hands and interference. I've got my own step to the contract but im not sure if it is correct I want to see if someone can come up with a good way to bid these hands.

the hog Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 1S (2C) 4C (5C)Would not be an uncommon start for many, but it is difficult to answer these questions without knowing the vulnerability or the form of the game. In my partnership, (and I suspect for a number of players who post here),1S (2C) 4D (5C) would be a better sequence, where opener's partner shows good support and a nice diamond suit as well - fit showing jump -, allowing opener to make a more reasoned decision in the bidding. Opener may well now decide to bid 5S on the basis of the double fit. How the auction progresses from there depends on the vulnerability.

Aeneas Posted February 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 At first i thought 5♣ should win the bidding because of their one suit dominance but after carefull consideration i think N-S could win with 5♠ and my bidding would go as such: 1♠-2♣-4♦-5♣5♠-All Pass But of course no one know each others cards so E-W would probably win unless N has guts. The 5♣ can be defeated because South will play first and will play A♥, and then lead a low spade for parnter and he will use both aces to defeat.

Free Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I don't know the Vulnerability, so I can't tell you what I'd bid with the East hand, so impossible to start giving an entire bidding sequence, sorry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I don't think SAYC has any particular competitive structure. In other words, you can graft onto it whatever structure you like. I like fit jumps in competition so would imagine something like: 1♠ 2♣ 4♦ 5♣5♥ P 5♠ All pass 4♦ shows the offensive strength for at least the 4 level. I think that opener should make one try with 5♥ in case responder has any extras, but should respect his sign off. A non-vulnerable East might make a WJO of 3♣ instead of a simple overcall of 2♣, but I don't think that would affect the subsequent bidding.

inquiry Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Unlike Eric, I might overcall 3♣, but when vul. If I bid three ♣ with EAST hand not vul opposite a non-passed partner, my partner will never play me to be this good. :-) I think is SAYC, south's choice's are a forcing 2♦ call, and a 4♣ splinter. I would bid 2♦. On the ohterhand, I am a firm believer in fit jumps in competition, so like a Ron and Erick I would bid 4♦ with this hand. West should apply the pressure now with a jump. If the vulnerability is right, the jump might even be to 6♣... which is probably the right contract for EW unless they are vul and NS are not vul.
