Apollo81 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 3NT, lack of spade raise means pard probably has a singleton heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 3NT. Partner did not bid 3♣ before my 2♠. I forced him to bid 3♣. Plus, I like my 76. I'm missing the AQJ1098. If partner has one of them, and RHO one of them, then LHO has four of them, and I might be in trouble. But, partner or my RHO might have two of them, and that might work out. I feel lucky.

What does it mean when partner opens 1♦ then bids and rebids clubs? Could partner be 1345? Why wouldn'the have ever raised hearts? Could he have a 4cM plus 5 clubs? Why didn't he raise hearts or spades (or bid some number of NT over 2S if he didn't think it was natural)? What would a double of 1♠ shown? I think we need more information to figure out what we would do here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimG Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Seems to me that slam could be good. I'm guessing partner doesn't have wastage in spades -- with Qx, Ax, Qxx, Axx partner might have tried 3♠ over 2♠. Then again, we could be off two aces: x Qx KQxxx AJxxx seems to fit the bidding. I think I'll stall with 3♥. But, that's probably just delaying the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 We ended up playing in 5♣, down one. 6NT is cold if played by west. [hv=d=e&v=e&n=saq953ht965dq7c32&w=sk764hakj73dtckq5&e=sj82hqdak86caj976&s=sth842dj95432ct84]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] On reflection, playing in clubs is a poor choice given south did not raise spades, making partner odds on to have 2-3 spades.
