Phil Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 ♠A9xx ♥J♦Jxxx ♣KQJx Matchpoints - NV / NV: 2♠ - (3♠ - hearts + m) - 4♠ - (5♥); pass - (pass) - ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Most hands I think of are -500. Even if partner has 3 clubs, they are likelly to get a ruff somehow. I would pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 If they can get a club ruff then they're cold for 6. 5♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I would pass but it's close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewj Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Definitely pass...We've made it hard for them and hopefully they've judged wrongly...I can't see 5♠ being a great save and even if it is, we might not get a good score if lots of other people have bought it in 4...(not that I know that to be true but..)

655321 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Agree with Pass, also agree with 4♠ (instead of 4♣) last round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I would have bid 4C on the last round for the lead. Pass now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Pard had a mildly strange JT9xxx xx AQx xx. 5H was cold. 5S is tick 2. I passed at the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieb Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 That's a 7-count with 6 spades, not strange at all! :) Looking at both hands I'd like to defend 5H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I would tend to bid, mainly because I think they are almost sure to make 5♥ -- and yes, a 4♣ bid last round would have been nice. I don't like fit-showing 4m bids when they might not bid over a direct 4M, but here it's pretty clear that they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
