You keycard in hearts somehow and partner shows 1 with the Q. What strain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 1. Easy 3NT. Partner asked for a stopper...sure looks like I have one. The 7th ♦ is just a bonus. 2. Paaaaaass. Much of partner's strength is probably wasted, we're likely off a ♣ and a ♥. Even 4 might be too high. 3. 3♠ = Slam interested splinter, since 2♠ is forcing. Opposite a keycard response, I bid 6♠. I need fewer pitches than partner, and my suit has good odds of running even opposite a likely void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 1. Redouble. This hand is very suit-oriented. Lets tell pard about our first round control. 2. 4♠ (what I would have bid the first time). 3. I think its clear to place this in hearts if we are bidding a slam. While all bets are off on a diamond lead, playing this in spades risks either a heart ruff, or being cut off from pard's winners when they lay off the heart A when pard has KQxxxx.

whereagles Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 1. 4♣ (natural). I really doubt 3NT has a future. Hopefully, pard won't take 4♣ as some sort of cue. If he's got a strong hand with hearts, he'll bid them now and we'll think it over. If he's got a diamond preference, we can think of raising it to game. 2. This one doesn't make much sense. Pard can't be cueing because he'd have a minor suit cue bid for sure. So this 4♥ must be natural and his 2♠ bid was some sort of an "invented reverse" designed to force to game in hearts. The plan backfired, so he's back to hearts. I'll pass now. With trepidation. 3. 6♠. Hearts may be right, but only if pard has a 1624. In other cases, spades looks more solid a contract.

Apollo81 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 1. Redouble. I don't care whether this means I have first-round control or whether I have a partial stopper. Either way it's the right bid. 2. 4♠ 3. hearts definitely, phil summed it up well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 1. Redouble. This hand is very suit-oriented. Lets tell pard about our first round control. In this context I think redouble shows a partial stopper. If not I think that that is a more useful agreement than showing first round control. With this distribution I don't mind missing 3NT. 1. I bid 4♣ 2. 4♠ I have a fit there. 3. Hearts we have nine of those and only seven known spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 1: redouble to show first round control, unless you have an agreement similar to Wayne's. But I think that PASS is half a stopper.2: 4♠ we are oof 2 top clubs unless we play something extrange about cuebids.3: 6♥, it is enough to deal with a non diamond lead, don't wanna need to deal with a non heart lead as well. Big winner if partner produces x-KQ10xxx-xxx-Kxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 1. I like the agreement that XX shows a stopper where you do not need to play NT from your side, particular the ace. 3 NT shows something like KJx. 2. 6 Heart. 2 Spade seems to be a way to show a hand which was too strong to bid 4 heart after my 1 HEart bid. So he will have millions of High cards which make slam possible. 3. 6 HEart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
