whereagles Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 MPs, none vuln, solid opps, expert pard ♠ AKQT4♥ 3♦ KQJ83♣ JT LHO pard RHO you2♥ .. 3♣ .. 4♥ .. ?? Options are:Suit = nat, NFDbl = take out4NT = RKCB for clubs (3041)5♥ = undiscussed5NT = pick-a-slam (pard will understand it) By the way, a direct 3NT by pard would show a balanced 19-22 or thereabouts. yER bID?

the hog Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Double looks the most flexible bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Double, really hoping partner pulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I think I'd bid 4S, really tough problem. At MP I think +300 is very likely and a disaster if I X, and I don't really want to play 5C instead of 4S that often. If we have a slam I think 450 or 480 will score well anyways (beating people in 5C). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 A really tough one, especially at MPs. I think 4♠ is better than double. Don't imagine anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I would double and take a possible 5 club to six. I really expect more then just AKQXXX in clubs and out from partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtK78 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 If 5NT is pick a slam, then that is my choice. It is hard to fathom that we have 2 losers (OK, pard could have xx Kx xx AKQTxxx). Even if I am wrong and the opps have 2 aces, they could misguess and bid 6♥. Or they could misguess the defense and fail to cash them.

jdonn Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I like 4♠ at mps. At imps I think I would double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 4♠. 4♥ is transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bidding it seemed like the percentage bid, in which case 5NT certainly would get us to the right strain. Too bad it was the wrong level.. lol. Must confess I was expecting more to try for the slam, though. Thx all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Next problem - does N sit for the x? I wouldn't, but that spade void is really convincing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
