Problem #3

Recommended Posts

IMPs, Red against White, Fourth Seat Ax KQ9x AK8x Jxx

(2) - Dbl - (3) - 4

(P) - 5 - (P) - ?

Agree with 4? Now what?

IMO

  • Agree with 4
  • Now 7 = 10, 5 = 9, 6 = 8, 6N = 6, 7N = 5

Just a guess. On a bad day, may depend on a finesse or two; but partner should be sound for immediate action and, if we trust opponents :) then we're playing with a 34 HCP deck.

Grand? Guess I'm a bit pessimistic into thinking even slam might go down! xx Axx QJTxx KQx or something. My H9 could come in handy, or maybe partner will have the HJ. I think I'll just bid 6D.

I'd have made a responsive double rather than bidding 4. Then it would have gone:

 

(2) - Dbl - (3) - Dbl

(P) - 4 - (P) - 4

 

and partner would have had room to cooperate, if he had a suitable hand.

 

From where we are now, I'd bid 6.

Definitely don't agree with 4S, this hand was an easy X which keeps us a whole level lower.

Previously, I agreed with the cue-bid :) but Justin is obviously right again: a (responsive) X is better :o

Revised marks X = 10, 4 = 5

Also, _P must get some marks over 5, although I would optimisticallly boot the grand :)

I doubt I can find 6. I would start with a double and try 4 over 4. I imagine I would play 6.

 

Did you have Hx of clubs in West or KQ in East?

On the actual play of the hand, East led the K, so it was a joke.

 

On a lead you will play side suits and find out East has 6 clubs, so there is nothing to play.
