rogerclee Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I think partner is 6-5, so I just bid 6♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I think 4♦ is natural, and partner is 6-1-4-2, 6-0-4-3, 6-1-5-1, or 6-0-5-2. If it's any of the extreme shapes, then I don't think he has much of a hand, as he probably would open 1 spade. As such, I go the low road and bid 5 ♦.

whereagles Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 It doesn't matter that 4♦ is. You just bid 6♦ and pard corrects to 6♥ if he had hearts in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Partner is agreeing H and showing a D control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Partner is agreeing H and showing a D control. I agree with this. Of course, contextually, it is shortness, but I would take it as shortness if the context was not so obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 It doesn't matter that 4♦ is. You just bid 6♦ and pard corrects to 6♥ if he had hearts in mind. I actually think that's a good idea here. Why take the chance of a misunderstanding? Even if partner thinks that 4♦ is a cuebid and 6♦ by us shows both red suits, he will choose hearts since he would have diamond shortness in that case.

P_Marlowe Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 #1 Cue, agreeing hearts.#2 4NT, RKCB for hearts. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 1. Cue of course 2. 6 ♥, not impossible for him to hold QJxxxx,KTx,x,Kx, but 6 is enough. I agree that with a pick up partner, 6 ♦ is the better idea- just in case. But with my regular partner 4♦ is defined as a cue, so I would not joke around.

Free Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 4♦ is imo cue with ♥ fit, but it depends on our partner... I think the plan of bidding 6♦ can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
