Echognome Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Am I playing a support XX here? I'll assume not. In which case I need to know if 1♠ showed 5 (would partner's double of 1♥ be penalty or responsive?). I'll assume partner's 1♠ showed 4+, not 5+, so I'll pass 2♦, as partner should be 4-5. I'll lead my systemic diamond with no conviction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 7. Insta pass 8. ♦J, but club ace can easilly be the winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 7. Easy pass. Partner is almost always 4S 5+D. With 5S 4D I expect partner to be bidding spades again as I don't do takeout doubles with a doubleton major 8. Top spade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 7. 2♠. I may have this auction a little off as I wouldn't have X and don't love my hand, but if partner has ♠ and ♦ and a void or stiff ♥ (which I think this should show), and if partner has a decent 8+ points and 5+ spades (which I think his freely offered 1♠ should show), then 2♠ sounds right. 8. Top ♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Clear pass, partner has 4 spades and 5-6 diamonds Spade, not quite sure about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Can we get that bidding template, please BBF? So annoying to try to decipher these sequences. 7. Pass, partner is 4-4 or 4-58. ♦J. With my ♠xx, dummy could easily have a good spade suit that I don't want to establish (or seen run immediately). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 7. Pass, partner is 4-5. 8. Top spade, going for a ruff (might also establish a trick or two for partner). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
