ochinko Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 If RHO has passed as well I would bid 4 1/2♦, so now I have no other choice but to bid 5♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvage Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I remember this hand, it was from the Norwegian Pairs Final and I was a 4♥ bidder. 5♦ seems like the normal bid, but you would prefer a little more high-cards. 4♥ looks like it is making (maybe with overtricks) and 5♦ may make or be a good save. At our table the partner of the 5♦ bidder was very critical to this bid. This seemed at the time like an effort to get the spotlight away from his own very strange and unsuccesful later action. The post-mortem strategy actually worked, but I will not spoil the problem by telling about the other hands. Personally I think the problem for the partner of the given hand was more interesting, but at my table he did not choose any of the 2 logical alternatives :) John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Although the vulnerability of the other side is not stated normally I like to bid my 8 card suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerclee Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'd 5♦. Even if 5♦ is wrong, sometimes they do something stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'm bidding my 8-card suit. Me too. This could either be very good or very bad. Let's bid it with confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
