gnasher Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 4♠. Some of what I have is in the wrong place, but I do have a complete maximum with five trumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 pretty obvious 4♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 quacky, balanced, MPs. ♠Q is a duplicated value with 5th trump. I am still finding excuses, but I think I still bid 4♠ anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewj Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yeh, having a 4th and 5th trump is a big bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I asked partner, he said yes, ergo 4♠. I expect to go down 1 since you posted this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I would also bid 4♠ as I'm going to game opposite an invite and I'm not strong enough to bid 3♠. On the other hand I would not be in the position, as I would have responded 3♠ initially showing a 5-card limit raise. So I do think it depends on all your passed hand agreements.

Hanoi5 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 4♠, some of my values might not be useful but the hand is great for game, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 pretty obvious 4♠ With PD interested in game, it is hard to imagine that 4♠ is not favorite to make here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 They do pay a scoring bonus for bidding and making games, so that's what I go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Ok, lol, I thought this problem was about if we should in any way open up for slam exploration with a cheaper bid than 4♠. Maybe partner's 2♥ could be first step with a strong hand, I don't know. Surely we are in game now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benlessard Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 AKJxxKQxxxxxx If you just bid 3S partner going to pass 4S. 4s is great but went down because of a D ruff not too many pair were in 4S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we don't play results :). What is the long term winner, and what actually happened are two different things... I'd rather be right in the long run than right on one hand and wrong on 9.

Fluffy Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'd rather be right in the long run than right on one hand and wrong on 9. I'd rather be right on the final once, than 9 elsewhere :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
