effervesce Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Pass. You need a hell of alot to make 6, and if partner had what you need to make 6 he'd probably have bid it. Besides, partner's 5♣ bid may have been based on trying to generate a swing. Why hang partner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDean Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I would pass. I have learned through (bad) experiences to give partner a lot of room in auctions like this. This hand in not hugely above average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catatonic Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 agree with your x 100% now pass , you have bid your hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think a 1♠ overcall is probably more common than X on this hand, since I'm not going to count my stiff K♥ as extra on offense. That said, if the other table sees (1♥)-1♠-(4♥)-? Will partner bid 5♣ on xx x KQx QT9xxxx or similar hands given you bid 1♠ and not X?Will you reopen with a double if 4♥ passes back to you? I think the answer to both of these is clearly no, and hence you may have already won the board finding a decent 5♣ Vul game over their 4♥ preempt.

Of course you will reopen with a X over 4H if you overcall 1S... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Pass. I think there is a fair chance we are missing slam, but equally there is a good chance we are just off two Aces. I would have bid one spade, devaluing the K♥ a little, and with a hand that looks very suitable for play in spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Would have bid 1S instead. Now I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtK78 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I would have overcalled 1♠. And it is not even a question of devaluing the ♥K. I don't want to make a takeout double on this shape. You have a good spade suit that can be bid conveniently. I don't want to prompt partner to get too active in diamonds when spades is likely to be the most likely game. Having doubled and partner having bid 5♣, I pass. Not really a close decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 With 5 good ♠ I prefer to O/C 1♠ which is also devaluing the K of ♥. I'll now pass 5♣ as I need to find the right cards in PD's hand to make and don't think he's favorite to hold them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that hand had 17 pts. So I'm surprised you are so clear about 1S here)thanks,Koen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
