(1) Precision 11-15(2) Forcing to 2NT(3) Since 2H is forcing, 3H would have shown ♦ support What now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Question: Would 3♠ over 2♥ have been a splinter? (I think it should since 2♠ is forcing). You have to make a move with this. So far you have only shown Kxxxx QJxx Ax xx. 5♣, 5♦ and 5♥ are all reasonable, but I think 5♥ is the most intelligent call. You've skipped both minors, so there can't be a concern about either, and I think 5♥ gets pard to look at trump and maybe the ♠A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I like Phil's reasoning... 5♥ should hopefully ask partner about his trump holding, which is our biggest concern. But is there maybe a chance that it will be interpreted as asking about ♣? I like it anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miguelm Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 What would 6C mean...? Would be nice if 6C could be interpreted as Exclusion here.... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 What would 6C mean...? Would be nice if 6C could be interpreted as Exclusion here.... :P Unless partner shows 2 with his 6♠ call! I would just start cuebidding, but I'm not stopping short of slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Problem with 5♥ is that partner might pass with ♥K and ♠A and ♦K (doesn't 5♥ ask for 2 honors in the trumps suit?). 5♣ or 4♠ are another possibility. Unless partner can pass 4♠... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'd cuebid 5♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 4♠. If pard now bids 5♣, there's wastage there and we should stop in 5♥. If not, maybe there's 7 in sight ;) It's risky to cue 5♣. Pard, looking at xxAKxxKQxxxxx might think spades are wide open and bid 5♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOL Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'd just bid 6H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I think about passing, since pard did not bid 3♣ followed by hearts/spades to show a strong hand, for example. Pard may have made their two over one on x K9xx KT9xx KQJx and is trying to just signoff into game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDean Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I would bid 5♦. I want partner to value his diamond king, and hopefully he can picture my club shortness, especially as I cannot be bidding on power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
