han Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Tough one. My heart king is not necessarily wasted but the opponents are red against white so there is a good chance it is. On the upside, I do have 4 spades and shortness and some values. And if my heart king is wasted, well, at least all of my partner's values will be working and the finesses are likely on. Sign me up for 4S but I consider it close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Nonexpert...but Can live with 4s or 4c ..I am never passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 4♠. Partner is likely to have at least some heart length, so my stiff ♥K and good intermediates in trumps might well be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Feel like partner's got a bigger hand than he might for this auction since he's got a couple hearts. I kick it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Easiest 4S bid ever. Even if you don't count the HK fully we still have a singleton and an excellent hand. This is an obvious 4S bid even if the HK were the H2, and most likely the king will have some value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Seems like a decent hand, I bid 4S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I would bid 4♠, after all, you might have zero hcp and only 3♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinidad Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Your 2♠ bid, opposite a balancing double, showed about 0-9 with 3+ spades. I expect the ♥K to play a role as a king (given that the preempt wasn't raised), as well as a singleton. I wouldn't give the king full value, but the combination of the king and the singleton is pretty good. In light of the auction, you have a pretty hand. I think 4♠ is obvious and I would expect about 11 tricks. But, if that would be the case, this hand would probably not have been posted here.

benlessard Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 3Nt no hesitation. Since you have a stiff H and opps didnt compete partner probably got a big balanced hand with no H stopper. RHO will raise with Axx in H so its pretty sure im making my HK at trick 1 or that im not getting a H lead. Maybe 4S is better but ive already bid 3Nt so its too late to change my mind.
