655321 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 5♠ Ask for a ♥ control. I think it would be unlucky to go down in 5♠. If partner has upgraded his hand because of his 3 small ♥ (and ♣ void ?!) we should still be safe. What sort of hands does partner need to open 2♠ in second seat?

SchTsch Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 5♣ I would like to bid 5♠ for partner to bid slam with ♥ control but have a little problem with that.If partner has the ♥A it shouldn't matter whether we play in ♣ or ♠ or even NT. If partner has a singleton ♥ and only 4 spades clubs are better contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 5C. Should show similar strength as 5S, but in case partner only holds a 4 carder,I know which suit I want to play. The main trouble with moving on is, thatthe opponents most likely have only a 6-3 fit, i.e. we will have 2 heart loosers,and partner does not need to hold the Aceof spades. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtK78 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I suppose I will bid 5♠ also, but I am uneasy about it. Personally, I would have started with a 3♣ overcall rather than a double. EDIT: On further review, this hand is just too strong to overcall 3♣. So, reluctantly, I have to agree that double is the correct action on the first round. I want to bid 3♣, but the hand is just too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgi Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 with 21 pts is hardly to avoid tempting bids especially when the partner show desire to step into the bidding B).is his/her 4♠ guarantee Ace of spades ?is 4♠ promise 8+pts and 5+ lenght ?i would bid 5♣ and if the partner has ace somewhere in majors and control ♥, i think that he may bid 6 also, so then i can think to bid 6♠ or stay on 6♣.

pclayton Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 5♠. Undaunted. I will pay off to Axxxx xx Kxxxx x with spades going 4-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I will pay off to Axxxx xx Kxxxx x with spades going 4-1. We can even be off three top tricks. JxxxxxxxKQJxx-- Unlikely (he might have bid something before) but possible. If he didn't, you can hardly fault him for jumping to 4♠ next. The 5-level is usually safe with the hand Frances posted, but one has to consider that partner may have stretched because of his (likely) shortage in clubs. 5♠ (no heart control) would be my call if I decide to bid again. Touch and go in my view. Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 5♠ looks very normal. Partner had a free 3♠ to show some values so 4♠ should show a decent hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 6♣, the same I'd bid if he bid 5♦ instead of 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
