gwnn Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Partner advertised a strong two suiter with spades and diamonds (he shouldn't do it with ♦KQ9 for example). 5♠ wtp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieb Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Partner expressed interest in competing to the 5-level, and my hand is definitely good for that. I would bid 5♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think 3S was a serious error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Why didn't I bid 4♠ at my first turn? In spite of unfavorable vul, I definately would bid 4♠ the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Obvious 4♠ first round.Given the auction, I try 5♠. Since 4♦ puts us on the 4-level, it should focus on the 5-level decision, and although I don't have a fitting diamond honour, this looks like a double fit and perhaps a lot of tricks.

dake50 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Over 5S, won't they go 6H? Now, 6S sac? I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobowolf Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Over 5S, won't they go 6H? Now, 6S sac? I pass. I think it's generally a losing proposition to sell out in fear that the opponents have a making slam they've decided they don't have.

peachy Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I bid 4S the first time. No decisions to make later. Now it looks like (based on bidding) that both sides have a doublefit which means more tricks in either direction than without the doublefits. Tough choice but I Pass, and regret that I didn't bid 4S the round before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
