cherdano Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Obvious cuebid. Taking away a whole level by not cooperating with 4♥ should show a really bad hand for slam. This one is very decent, nothing to be ashamed of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 4♣, I hope this problem is not serious hehe. This hand is good enough to bid on if partner comes back with 4♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Cuebid IMO is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I don't understand not cuebidding here. You've tightly limited your hand, so tell partner about your controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 What is 3♠? If it is a normal cue bid then you must cooperate. The hand here is a great hand for slam - three key-cards and a singleton - even if minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'd love to be able to bid 4♦, showing where my values. If not possible, I bid 4♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 My partner would not understand if I don't cue with this... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Partner is unlimited, hence you should make the cue. The only point to discuss is, if you should bid 3NT (serious / non serious), if this agreement is in place.But 15HCP is certainly min, and 3S spade will be based on values most of the time, hence the single is not really a plusfactor, so I would go with the weaker cue. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Partner is unlimited, hence you should make the cue. Exactly! What? No, not because of that. We cue because we have a good hand for slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With kind regardsMarlowe Your hand is tightly defined ; not sure why you would need 3NT (serious/non serious). Anyway I consider this hand to be a maximum although it has only 15HCP . I see two ways to proceed : 3NT to hear a club control or 4♣ to hropefully hear partner cue bid the ♦K (since we play strong NT i have a diamond suit so I assume partner will not cue bid a singleton. So the short answer is cue bid is a no brainer , which cue bid is a matter of partnership agreement (I guess 4♣ is the standard approach) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'd show serious interest if I could. Two of the top three honors in my suit, with the Ace, a side Ace, decent trumps, and a spade stiff to boot? That's quite a nice hand.

effervesce Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I cue 4♣. If partner then cues 4♦ I RKCB. If partner bids 4♥ over 4♣ I'm happy to play there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
