Trpltrbl Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 1 ) a ) I bid 2♠, NF constructive, mostly because my singleton in pd's opening suit. Good thing my pd's bid with fit and if they don't have fit I will hear something else. After 3♦ I I will bid 3 ♠, which pd will raise to game even with a void but with nice other cards. b ) After 3♦ I will bid 3♠, and again pd will bid with fit. 2 ) 3 NT, it is IMP's and we have about as much chance of making this as 3 ♦. 3 ) Pd obviously doesn't wanna tell us what he has in his hand, except for the 4 ♠, I have no idea what else he has, sounds like 4-2-4-3 hand. With 5 ♦ I really hope he would have bid 3 ♦ after 3♣. But I don't want to gamble 6♣ even though my gutt tells me I should. I just need to know too much specific cards out of pd's hand and I don't have the room to do that savely. Mike :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Oops.I never saw my ♥ Ace on 1.Now I will just bid 3♠ showing this type of hand, even though I don't like to have singl in pd's overcalled suit. Mike :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luis Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 1) 2H if pd bids 3d I bid 3s. If pd bids something else I bid 4s 2) 3h, check if pd can cooperate with a heart stopper. I think I will sell out for 4d otherwise. Passing 3d is just too risky. Pd can have Qxxxxx of diamonds and the hA. 3) Looks like pd has a bad 4-2-5-2 hand. But I really think that we have some chances for a slam. So I think I will bid 4d and see if can cuebid in hearts. I'm not sure where are we going to stop after 4d but I can't pass 3N with this hand.

Poky Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 1) 4♠ directly, cause I'll never play anything below 4♠2) If 3♦ was 0-6 - pass, if 3♦ was 6-9 - 3♠, intending to pass 3NT or 4♦.3) Pass - misfitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the first hand, I will bid 2H first, then bid my spade. I think 4S is a certainty, we may even have a slam. With the second hand, I will jsut bid 3N. With the third hand, pass and pray 3N make. Your 3C has already show slam interest and pd still want to play 3N. Fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
