kgr Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 [hv=d=s&v=n&n=stxhkxdaqxxcaqxxx&s=sak9xxxxxhaxxdxcx]133|200|Scoring: IMP[/hv]4D!-4NT5D!!-6C!!!7S 4D!: Namyats (showing 9 (or 8 good) tricks in S). You have other bids to show a S preempt (4S), a GF in S (3D-3H-3S), or semi-GF in S (2D-2H-3S).4NT: RKC (North can also bid 4H to show slam interest)5D: 3 or 0 of 56C: This bid was not correct. By agreement it asks 3rd round control in C. North could bid 5NT (iso 6C) as specific K ask and then South would bid 6S showing no K. How should this correclty be bid to 7S? W had ♠QJx :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 The contract is good. It's your luck that sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 The contract is good, though the decision between playing 6 or 7 sometiemes depends on your opponents. Anyway, why didn't you ask for the trump Q when you knew partner had 3 Key Cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, why didn't you ask for the trump Q when you knew partner had 3 Key Cards? Because partner has (almost certain) 8 card ♠. With a 7-card and 8-9 tricks, he would rather bid 2♦-2♥-3♠ (semi-GF in ♠). Therefor ♠Q is only useful if ♠ are 3-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Good contract, unlucky. Only because you are vulnerable is the inference about the 8th spade valid. Otherwise I'm not that convinced. Diagnosing an 8-2 (10 card fit) is rather tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
