MFA Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Strangely, there were two quite similar problems last night.Both times it went 4♠-X-pass-? 1. NV vs VULA, Qx, QJT9xxxx, xx 2. NV vs NVAx, KJT9xxx, Qx, xx :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 5♦ and 5♥, don't ahve what it takes to bid higher (first one is close) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'd take a shot at the 5 level in both, too. Yesterday I watched about 3 or 4 1♣-1♠-2♦ reverses in just 24 hands, amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 The idea of taking a shot to me is stepping up and bidding 6, and alas I have no balls. I think both are easily possible to take a lot of tricks, maybe all of them even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 On the second one I'd bid 4NT, hoping to be able to convert 5♣ to 5♥, showing a slam try. Then I'll wake up to find that partner has bid 5♦, I've bid 5♥, and partner has fatally lead a club against 5♠x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmunte1 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 1. 5♦2. 4NT+5♥, i'm not so worried about partner leading ♣ against 5♠ X-ed as Andy sugests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Not so optimistic actually, 5♦ and 5♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 These are both 5.5 calls. Agree with Edmunte on 2; 4N and then 5♥. On the 1st I fear we are stuck with 5♦, but I could be persuaded to bid 6 on either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Feeling-based: 1. 6♦2. 5♥ (too many empty spots) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Just game on both. Don't hang partner for putting his neck on the line and making an action with spade shortage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I would go the 4NT route on hand 2. I think my hand is just good enough. I guess I should discuss with my partners more how much they need to move here. Is 2.5/3 keycards too much to ask for? Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
