ArtK78 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Later in the first match of our two-match set, my LHO picked up this hand: [hv=d=w&v=b&s=sakqjxxxxxhxdxcxx]133|100|Scoring: IMPOpponents are silent. Your side bids: 1♦ - 1♠2♥ - 3♠6♦ - ?[/hv] 1. Do you agree with the actions taken by this player so far?2. Do you convert to 6♠, or do you let your partner play in 6♦?

P_Marlowe Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hi, #1 I guess 2S instead of 3S would be forcing? If so, than I thinks I agree with the bidding.#2 I play my own suit, partner may well have a spade void, but I have cards in his suit. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I bid 6♠, but I can imagine passing 6♦ being the winning action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I call a running 9 card suit, trumps and convert to 6♠. PD's bidding seems to be offering us a choice of 6♦ or 6♥ with emphesis on the ♦, but in spite of our jump to 3♠ he cannot imagine our's are so good.

ASkolnick Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Must bid 6 spades. Hand worth in Spades 9 tricks?Hand worth in other contracts? 0 tricks, or 1 trick at most (spade lead) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matmat Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 my hand might not take a trick if spades are not trump. 6♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerclee Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 The last time I held 9 solid, I had to put it down in dummy. Partner converted 7♥ to 7NT :huh:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 if partner has a spade void, i have potentially zero tricks for him. I convert to 6S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Partner reversed and now bids slam? I'm bidding grand! 7♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 This hand was largely responsible for our win in the first of two round-robin matches played last week. The North-South hands were: [hv=n=shaqjxxdakqjxxckx&s=sakqjxxxxxhxdxcxx]133|200|1♦ - 1♠2♥ - 3♠6♦ - 6♠[/hv] A perfectly reasonable auction at our table. No doubt others will come up with variations, but the end result is reasonable. The hand was over quickly when the ♣Q was led. At the other tables, my teammates had an accident and wound up in 6NT from the red suited hand. But their accident was nothing like the accident of the person holding my cards on opening lead. I held: [hv=d=n&v=n&s=stxhkxxdxxxcaxxxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] Not wanting to give anything away, the player holding my hand led a spade.....
