MFA Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Pass. If your partner's style makes 5♠ the percentage bid with this crappy hand, then he is not bidding 4♠ often enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 The five-level belongs to me! So why don't you bid 5NT? ;) Seriously, I think I'd pass, I can very easily see both contracts go down and no situation where both contracts make. The main thing is that they don't have a double fit because my minor holdings. All that said I think it is not a wtp hand because there are apparently huge quantities of trumps. It's just that my hand is not sharp enough to warrant a 5 over 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 This looks like a WTP Pass to me. Can't think of any reason for bidding 5/5 with this bad hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Pass. You have some defence against 5H, a 4S in the position your partner was, could also contain some defence, so you may beat 5H. If I read the bidding correct, opener has somelength in spades but only xxx, since with Hxx,he may have passed or made a penalty double,i.e. we will have 7 spade tricks + 1 or 2 ruffs, the king of clubs. Maybe you can double, showing a desire to sac, if partner has no defence at all, but the meaningof the double needs to be clear to partner. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Pass. The real problem arises when partner doubles. You mean what to lead? Our singleton heart isn't an asset and we have a little defense. There is no reason to think 5M is making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
