karlson Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 ♠Axxx♥Axxx♦Axxx♣A Partner r/r 1st opens 2♥ showing 5-5 (or more) with hearts and a minor, You try 2n and partner bids 3♥ showing a max with clubs. You don't really have any further agreements here, but if you think something is standard, partner will probably be on the same page.

JLOL Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I would just bid 6H with no agreements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I guess, the 2H showes a weak 2-suiter? Assuming 2H promises a hand, which goes at most -3, or -2?I will have 6 tricks for partner, maybe 7.To get 7, you need to ruff 3 times, and you cant use hearts to enter your hand, and theymay lead a trump. Since partner showed a max., chances are high,that he has a hand, he expects to go down -2 atmost (without help from you), so you should have a reasonable play for 12 tricks. The key is of course the precise definition of the2H opening, you dont need precise agreements about follow ups, you need to know the band with ofthe 2H opening. With kind regardsMarlowe PS: You will be able to enter the hand via diamondor spade ruffs, so our hand will quite often produce 7tricks.

kenrexford Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I don't get this. Range?!? What is a "max" when no range is stated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I don't get this. Range?!? What is a "max" when no range is stated? Let's use our imaginations and pretend it shows less than an opening bid. 6♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I would bid RKC and try to let partner know we have all the keycards. That way partner can bid 7 if he has a decent 6-5 hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 How do you know which suit is agreed? I agree with you if you have an agreement on how to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlson Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Sorry, 2♥ showed weak 2 strength, I could have specified. I think we should play 6-key on this auction, but we definitely weren't playing that, so I blasted 6♥ too. Everyone gets to move to partner's seat for an awesome play problem.

skjaeran Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 How do you know which suit is agreed? I agree with you if you have an agreement on how to do that. 4NT would be KC for hearts in my world, since 4♣ would be forcing.2NT shows a good hand, a maximum with opener is GF.(You bid 3♣ p/c to stop in openers minor.)
