ArtK78 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I like my hand. 4♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 5th trump and shortage = 4♦ for me. However, I do not believe my 4♦ bid shows a control there, that is just a coincidence (except for it being part of why I value the hand).

P_Marlowe Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Ask yourself: Would you bid 4H without the Ace of spades and do you believe, that you can make 4H? The main purpose of bidding 4D is not to make a move toward slam, but to tell p, that you are bidding 4H with the intention to make.It creates a forcing pass sequence, which will help the partnershipto find the right decision, if 3D gets raised to 5D. with kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerclee Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 This just comes down to how your partnership splits the 4♥/4♦ ranges. That is more important to talk about than what you would bid on this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dake50 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I agree with no monkey option. Do something. Minimal upbid concern, minimal 'tell partner' values, 4H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Uwe just because you'd do something with an ace less doesn't make the same action wrong. You have two bids for hands that would like to be in game, so surely both intervals are at least as wide as an ace difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 The main reason to bid 4♦ is to set up a forcing pass at the 5 level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
