MarkDean Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I have a bunch of problems from nationals, I will try to slowly leak them out.

mikeh Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I agree with 4♠, but we may have more issues at our next turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 4♠. Mostly because other bids are non forcing.. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I've thought about this now for about ten minutes and I've convinced myself that I like 5♠ instead of 4♠, because I can't see myself letting this out in less than slam. 5N really should deny a 1st round spade control. Of course I don't know if we can make six. However, but I think there is an excellent chance that our opponents are going to sac in 6♠ anyway and I want to prepare pard to make an intelligent move at that point, which he should with the ♦K / ♣A + one or both of the rounded Queens. I also want a discount of the ♠A in pard's evaluation. If we are going down in slam and the opponents guess not to sac, then WD them.

jdonn Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 4♠, I'm not worth exclusion. Even if I were forcing to slam, which I'm not, I would bid 4♠ then 5♠ or something more like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesome31 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 4♠.If partner bid 5♦/♥, CUE 5♠ again. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 4s, hate to x with a void but tough hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOL Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 The biggest reason not to bid exclusion in my mind is that you might belong in diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDean Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 The player at my table (who I had heard of before, and I think is an expert) bid 4♥. I found that to be a massive underbid, but he won a big swing when the auction was duplicated and my teammate bid more, leading to 5♥ -1. Upon telling of this hand to somebody else, he also bid 4♥, so I thought I would check with you guys. Partners hand:KJxxJxxxxxQTx (double would have been my third choice with that hand, but that is another thread). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I would not have thought this was exclusion since we don't have an agreed upon suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 With that much spade wastage, there's a case for passing 1♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOL Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I would not have thought this was exclusion since we don't have an agreed upon suit. I think that negative doubles these days should just be treated as a 1H bid. "Everyone" would see 1m p 1H 3S 5S as exclusion right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I would not have thought this was exclusion since we don't have an agreed upon suit. 5♠ agrees hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
