Your move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 No. Pard is balancing and apparently he isn't even sure you understood 4♣ was specifically for the majors. Just pass. Besides, if you bid slam, it can go club ace, club ruff :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Agree with Nuno, we are high enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I also pass. I think I would have bid 4H immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Not close imo, pass. This michaels could be quite light since partner is under a lot of pressure if hes 5-5 in the majors. He might well just bid 4C to make sure to get to the right strain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulg Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 This was a hesitation problem that occurred against us. In real life partner thought for some time before bidding 4♥. This hand then raised to 5♥ and partner bid the slam, making an overtrick when he held ♠KJxxx ♥AKQxx ♦x ♣AQ (yes, our 3♣ opener as not a thing of beauty). There was no dispute over the hesitation but the Director ruled that the 5♥ bid was automatic and the table result stood. We did not appeal as it would not have materially affected the result, but we were not happy. We're still not happy but feel supported by the above comments :huh: Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 5♥ automatic? That Director may know the laws but he sure can't play a card right :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
