xcurt Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 XIMPs, 1rst seat, favorable --, KQT87432, --, AK754 I opened 1♥. Agree? It went 1♥-2♠-P-P; ? What now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 8-5 is still 1-suited I think. I might try 6♥ and since partner would yell at me for opening 2♣ on a 2 loser hand. Over 2♠, 3♣ sounds forcing, and I'll follow up with 5N over partner's likely 3N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlam Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Over 2♠, 3♣ sounds forcing, Not to me, you would get to play 3♣ most of the time opposite me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOL Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Rob, why would 3C be forcing? As a general rule when one hand has shown nothing you can't make forcing bids unless they are cuebids or some jumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flameous Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Agree with 1H.3!S now.Over 3NT I bid 4C, this must be forcing.Over 4C I think I'll just bid 6C, I doubt any RKC or cuebidding can tell me if partner holds specifically H ace.Over 4D I take the negative route of 4H.

mtvesuvius Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I like 1♥ also, but 2♣ may be better if you have good methods over 2♣. 3♠ first... I am planning on bidding 6♥ eventually, but it cannot hurt to see if I can find out more, so I will probably bid 4♠ next. I will bid 4♣ over 3NT and 6♣ over 4♣ though... Actually, this is a hand where in my system, I would open 4NT as a specific ace ask. Now if partner doesn't bid 5♥ showing the A♥, I will bid 6♥. Unfortunately this loses the club fit potentially, and we may get too high, but I think if we're willing to force to slam after partner has shown nothing, then 4NT is acceptable.

Phil Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Rob, why would 3C be forcing? As a general rule when one hand has shown nothing you can't make forcing bids unless they are cuebids or some jumps. Gag, not this one again. Obviously 3♣ is NF. I'm also sure many would take 4♣ as NF too !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 1♥ + 6♣ seems to do the hand justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'd expect a 6-6 for a 6♣ rebid I would go for sure with 3♠ now, lets give partner a chance to bid clubs himself. I'd like to bid 1♥+3♠+4♣+5♥ as the better explanation possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
