TylerE Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 [hv=d=s&v=n&s=sajhdaj43cakj8632]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv] If you open 1♣, partner will respond 1♦.If you open 2♣, partner bids 2♦ waiting. RHO will overcall 1 or 2♥ if able, and LHO will raise hearts to the 3 level if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicklont Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Nice to know all this before the bidding starts.I would have opened 1♣ without this information and I only feel better when the opps. startbidding hearts. 1♣ - (p) - 1♦ - (1♥)3♥ - (p) - ?3♥ shows diamond fit and heart splinter. That works better than2♣ - (p) - 2♦ - (2♥)3♣ - (p) - ? In the first sequence partner knows about diamond fit, clubs and strenght.In the second he only knows clubs and strenght. The worst that could happen is when partner bids 1♥, but even then south can reverse 2♦ and keep the bidding forcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 On your 1♣ auction, partner will bid 3♠. On the 2♣ auction, 3♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicklont Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 On your 1♣ auction, partner will bid 3♠. On the 2♣ auction, 3♦. Auction 1. Nice one for Exclusion Blackwood, sadly I don´t play that. Partner just showed ♠K or singleton. All I need now is ♦KQxx for a grand slam.I bid 4♣ now and try to make partner bid 4NT RKCB. Then I will show 3 keycards and a renonce above trumps with 6♥. He´ll know which suit it is. Auction 2.I think I need Exclusion Blackwood even more now, but I still don´t have it.4♥ - fit and splinter - after which partner will probably bid 4♠.Now I can bid 5♥, but I can hardly believe we can bid a controled grand. What the heck, man or mouse? Just bid 7♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Looks like a hand for Grand Slam Force! ;) I would open 1♣. 1♣ - (P) - 1♦ - (1♥)3♥ - (P) - 3♠ - (P)5NT - (P) - Hopefully 7♦ (or 7♣ if discussed) No need for exclusion of anything else here. All we care about is ♦ cards, that's why GSF was invented... If you have it in your convention reserve (waiting for 22 years to be used...)

whereagles Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Our actual auction was: 1♣ (strong) - .... Ahem, if I'm playing strong club, I'd open 1♣. The hand is perfect for asking bids and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
