jahol Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 The board was:[hv=d=e&v=n&n=sa732hk2dkj2cj862&w=s1085h1054d54ca10975&e=sh9763da1098763c43&s=skqj964haqj8dqckq]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] N-S bid Polish club with common competitive and slam bidding conventions. The bidding was: West-------North------East-------South ...............................pass........1C(1)pass..........1S(2)........3D..........4Dpass...........5C..........pass........6Spass...........pass........pass (1) - "Polish" club, 12-14 balanced, 15+ with club suit or 18+ all kinds of hands(2) - 4+ spades, 7+ PC One down, -10IMPs. What is your opinion? Did North contribute more to the disaster, or South did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_c Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 North gets 100% of the blame for his 5♣ bid. South's bidding did not suggest clubs. By going past 4NT, North made it impossible to discover the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Okay North was not on the same wavelength with south, he thought that 4 Diamond does not gurantee a spade fit. In this case 5 club is understandable. Shall 4 Diamond show spade support? I am not sure, what WJ2005 says, but I think it should. Strong club hands can bid 4 club, other hands can double bid 3 NT or bid their suit. So North is guilty. South was sure that 5 Club showed a control, obviously the ace and denied a heart control, so 6 Spade was clear cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate22 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 some of my best results are against precision bidders -----------south is to blame----------- np 1c--1sp-- 3d what is south excited about his Q no value at present-south works on pards 7+ points(he may have more) bid 3 spades-then North will bid 4 cl.this is not ace showing (if it is north now bids 3n/t that shld put the brakes on south--play in 3n/t or 5 spades--over 3n/t if south wants to press on he could cue 4 diam-and north responds or just bids 4 spades regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
