runewell Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 From the 10PM ACBL speedball tourney on 10/4/08 my partner picked up this unbelievable hand: ♠ AKT♥ AK ♦ AKQ9♣ AK94 30 high card points, to say nothing of the spots. I'd say you need to upgrade this to 31 :blink: How do you bid this? Fortunately for us, my 2♦ response to 2♣shows values. However that only gave partner license to blast to 6NT, making 7 opposite ♠ QJxx♥ xx♦ Txxx♣ Qxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb79 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 according to our simple bidding agreements: 2C - 2D - 5NT* - 7NT* *31-32 balanced*grand slam try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmc Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Is't it slightly better for partner to try 6c Gerber over 5NT so as to assure you are not off one Ace? jmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Balanced hands this strong are absurdly impossible to bid accurately when things like xx xx Txxxxxx xx and xx xxx xx Txxxxx make a laydown 7NT. Even if partner denied values I would be very tempted to blast 6NT on my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTired Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 2C 2D 5N asking partner to bid 1 higher for each A, K, or Q partner holds. 4N/5N/6N are all the same in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
