Viren169 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Interesting hand that created a lot of discussion... What do you bid with the following hand at RED playing IMPs? ♠ J♥ K 7 5 4♦ J♣ K Q J 9 8 4 2 (2S) 3D (P) ? BR Viren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 sounds like an awful missfit, only reasonable games with our aceless hand are 3NT and 4♥, but they require a lot of help from partner on some way. With my regular partners where 3♦ is STRONG I would bid 3♠ followed by 5♣, on a less serious partnership I just pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Playing transfer advances, you have an easy 3♠ (shows clubs, pard gives priority to 3NT with a spade stop). Without that gadget... oh well. I really dunno. 3♥ and hope for the best, I guess. I don't like 4♣. It's either 5 or nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Bah Nuno, I was hoping that you would go mad at the fact that a thread called 'Interesting Hand' is on the SAYC-2/1 B) NOTE: I am just messing with whereagles Viren169, its fully right you post wherever you find it apropiate.

Codo Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 In many older threads, one of the Mikes had the advice: Often when a problem arose, try double or cuebid.I guess X followed by 5 club after the TDs descission will take you to a good spot. For ethical players, I would try 3 Spade and let partner play 3 NT. If he bids 4 Diamonds, I quit bridge and start some games where you need no partner.

Viren169 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hi, Firstly, I must apologise to Fluffy (and others) that this is indeed the wrong forum. I am new to this forum. Back to the problem... Pass: seems a bit passive 4C: Is this forcing or non-forcing? 5C: Aceless hand - a bit pushy 3N: where are the spades? No raise on your right.

Fluffy Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 A good problem has no answer ;) What was the full hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I also thought of 3♠ (I voted 4♣) but my hand is not very strong (especially if we have no fit), so my question is, how should partner take 3♠ and what if he repeats diamonds as someone already said?
