Mr. Dodgy Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 X, 5♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 On this round there are two sensible options i) bid 4D (a good 4H bid) and then bid on over partner's 4H sign-offii) bid 5D at once, showing a huge hand for hearts and a diamond void, and respect partner's 5H sign-off In (sad) practical fact, if you do bid 5D you probably have to respect 5H because partner may well bid it slowly when you are making slam. I think either is a perfectly good choice. I would probably go with (i) because of the huge upside when partner doesn't sign off but wouldn't quarrel with (ii) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Probably start with 4♦ just to tell partner about the fit, but pretty much planning on forcing to slam regardless. Double is bad here, it has no upside if partner bids, and if partner passes it is unlikely that defending 3♦X is best for our side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bid 6h after 3d and opps was down 5 in 7d which was not enough because we lost 4.4 imps. I was curios how some tables found it the 7h.

I was curios how some tables found it the 7h. i don't think 7H is a particularly good contract -- it just happens to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vuroth Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I like 4♦/4♠. 6♥, I think, is the right idea, but why give up on 7 so fast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickRW Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I like 4♦/4♠. 6♥, I think, is the right idea, but why give up on 7 so fast? Yes. Nobody has yet commented on East's woeful underbid of 3♦ with an eight card suit to KQJT at w/r vulnerability. I'd give it 5♦ myself. Even if you're the timid sort, you gotta go 4 surely?!
