han Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 The first five bids are clear: 1C - 1D1S - 2H (4th suit GF)2S I think responder should now jump to 4D to make a statement about diamonds. From then on it is not so clear. Perhaps opener should just bid 5D and hope responder passes. Maybe reponder will, it doesn't matter much as 5D and 6D are about equal. (although in a weak field 5D would be preferable I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'd bid: 1♠ 2♦3♣ 5♦ or something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 My first five bids are clear but differ from Han's 1♣ 1♦1♠ 3♥ Natural GF3♠ ... then maybe ... 4/5♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'm not convinced that in the real world so many will stop in 5D. Opposite as little as the ace of hearts and ace of clubs 7D is virtually laydown. You don't need much of a diamond fit with that suit either.

jdonn Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 My first five bids are clear but differ from Han's 1♣ 1♦1♠ 3♥ Natural GF3♠ ... then maybe ... 4/5♦ I would start that way, but I think just bid 6♦ next as south. Maybe it's taking a bit of a chance, but I don't think it can be done scientifically from there, at least not by me and anyone I play with.

benlessard Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 1C------1D1S------2H (3H isnt natural for me)3S ----??? (3S is probably better then 2S, showing the 6-5 will tell partner that we may not have a full opening in points count and 2S followed by 3S might just be a waiting or control bid) here the misfit is clear as sunshine but still our hand is still powerhouse. So 4D wich is keycard for us (but may include a S fit, I know we have a S void), 4H (1-4) now I think its clear to signoff in 5D but the other option would be to bid 5C (asking for extras) and partner will sign off in 5D. I wouldnt cry if we reached 6D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I would always jump to 6 ♦ after showing Diamonds and hearts.F.E.: 1 ♣ 1 ♦1 ♠ 3 ♥ 3 ♠ 4 ♦ 4 ♥ 6 ♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jikl Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 In some ways, hands like this should be given as a one handed problem rather than 2 handed, just to see what the responses would be. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
