Free Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Woops I did it again as well: Please post hands in English. What the hell is a "E" and a "B"??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Woops I did it again as well: Please post hands in English. What the hell is a "E" and a "B"??? [Put's Sherlock Holmes' hat on]"E" or "B" must surely represent an Ace else he hasn't got anything like an opening bid.If "B" is the Ace then "E" must be a king (for similar reasons). This seems unlikely for both linguistic reasons and because I think the title implies the hands was a very borderline opening bid which an Ace and two Kings and a six card suit is not.So making "E" the Ace, "B" must be either a Queen ("Bella"?) or a Jack ("Bauer"?). My guess is the Jack.[/takes Sherlock Holmes' hat off] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suokko Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I would except to make 10-11 tricks in hearts so 4 hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 4♥. (I assume partner knows his 3♥ bid shows more than an uncontested raise to 2♥.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 4♥ should be an easy make. This is really a "wtp." Your signature says it best. If I may paraphrase, "Do not understimate the power of the ninth trump." In this case, it is the 10th trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 The more I think of it, the more I realise this is a BIG WTP 4♥, so sorry for wasting time and bandwith. On the actual hand, partner had a subminimum: ♠8xxxx♥AKQ♦x♣xxxx As thrumphs are 2-2, it takes a Thrumph-lead to beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
