cloa513 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 So Partner Psyched or else bid with bad suit and a couple of outside kings what's the venerability? Bid 7 if it was all non-vul and 6 non-vul against vul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Sorry hand corrected to AKQTx of Ds, and yes it is for real. Happened yesterday. All non vul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 If you played with my regular partner, you wouldn't find this surprising. First in a favourable, he would certainly open 3D on xx x xxxxxx xxxx. Love all he tends to show slightly more restraint, but still I would expect 6D to be on the club finesse. Even if partner has the CK, I don't expect 7D to make because I expect partner to be (21)64 If I have some way of asking for the king of clubs, I will do that and play 7C if partner has it. Failing that, 6D. This is really a matter of knowing what partner thinks a first in, love all, 3D opening looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOL Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 If I have some way of asking for the king of clubs, I will do that and play 7C if partner has it. lol really? Would he really not open 3D with 7 diamonds and the CK and 7222 or 7321 ever? You Brits have some crazy preempting styles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrexford Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 The hand may have a maximum of 11 tricks, easily. 7222 with a major King, clubs finesse failing, and the other major lead. A pattern ask (where's the stiff?) does little good, as it just directs the defense. A control ask (where's the control) does little as well, as a club control is likely a stiff. Even 1282 or 2182 might have a maximum of 11 tricks. Tough call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 4♣ keycard, is a fairly standard treatment, and then over the 1st step response, ask for Kings, but I wouldn't bother. Just bid 6♦... even playing with Frances' partner. If I keep doing this, maybe he'll change his preempting style :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 If you bid 4C kC, pd will show none of course and if you then ask for Ks he will show 1.Pd held xxKxxJxxxxxxx Not me playing; I am reading the bulletins in Laos. These are two of the strongest players in Aust. (Maybe explains why we don't do so well).The bidding was 3D 7DOn a S lead best line is probably the C hook, and hope to bring down KC in 3 rounds. Well the hook works but on the actual layout only 12 tricks are available. Just wondered who would open 3D all green first in hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Even I think I would pass it... However we will only be in 6♦ at my table B). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Just wondered who would open 3D all green first in hand? I would in one partnership, but not in the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOL Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 White/red I would open that with 3D, and other vulnerabilities I would pass (though could see some conditions where I'd do it w/w, wouldn't be my normal action). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
