Guest Jlall Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 You hold KQxx Jxx Axx Kxx. Starting with partner: 1D p 1S 2H3S 4H 4S 5Hp p ? You are red vs white at teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Looks like a 30 point deck. I don't really think partner made a forcing pass, but he didn't saw them off either. I'm going big this time (since I tucked my tail and went home in the other thread). I'm debating between 6♦ and 6♠, but think I'll just go with the latter.

andy_h Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I'd bid 5S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcLight Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 5♠ I think pard is 4144. Pard bid at the 3 level, not the 4 level. I credit the opps with making a good save. For us to make 6 requires just 1 loser (presumably the heart).He needs a stiff heart and all of:S: AD: K QC: A Q (and maybe the spade J if they are 4-1 unless it can be finessed.If pard has less, you can still make 6 if a finesse works. To make 5 means 1 additional loser. For a bid at the 3 level, I assume thats reasonable. I think the opps are going for at least 300, and maybe 500. 5 hearts, and 3 spade ruffs, so lead hearts twice. Then 5H + 2 ruffs. We take at least:1 Spade, 4 dimes/clubs. 650 vs 300 or 500 650 is better but can you get it? I think the odds are close enough that its worth bidding, even with this balances hand.If you make 3/7 vs 500 you are around break even.Vs 300 you need more. I think 5S can make.

gnasher Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Does 3♠ show a full-value raise? I usually use 3♥ as a high card raise, and 3♠ as something like a 4153 12-count. Opposite a real raise, I'd have done something different on the round before. Opposite the weaker type, I'd bid 5♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Pass is forcing if you agree its forcing. Gilbert held a very similar hand in the KOs on Friday in LV. He bid 5♠. I held a 4=1=5=3 - trump were 4-1 so I couldn't scramble 11. I would double and I'm prepared to lose 3 or lose 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Double since my shape stinks and I'm not totally convinced 5♠ is making. If partner had really crazy distribution then he might have bid 4♠ instead of 3♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmunte1 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I agree with gnasher's post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Results: Han Xed, I thought 5S was the right call. My hand was AJTx x KQJTx Jxx or something. 5S would make and 5H went for 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
