A revealing auction


Recommended Posts

[hv=d=n&v=n&s=saqj94h854dk3cqjt]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv]

 

You are playing a weak NT system with 4 card suits throughout. Partner deals and you have the uncontested auction:

 

1- 1

2NT(1) - 3(2)

3(3) - 4(4)

4(4) - 4NT

5(5) - ??

 

1. 18-19 bal

2. Checkback asking for major length

3. 3s without 4s

4. 1st or 2nd round controls

5. 1 or 4 keycards for spades

 

Its your bid,

any number of spades, 6NT, or bids at the 7 level will be to play

5 would ask for the trump queen

5NT is a specific king ask ( with 0 partner bids 6, 3 6NT, with 1 he bids the suit its in and with 2 he bids the one he doesn't have)

6 suit would ask for a 3rd round control.

 

What do you bid?

Can you envision the play?

So partner has the following, plus 3-4 more points:

Kxx

Axxx

A-

A-

 

If partner has the K, slam is dead. If partner has the QJ, I think 6 is 75% (need 1 of 2 finesses), and 7 is 25% (need both finesses). If partner has AKxx I think 6 is 50% and 7 is 0%. If partner has AKJx 6 is 75% and 7 is 25%?

 

So just bid 6.

 

Transportation is a bit tight, so do the club finesse first, because it keeps you in hand.
