se12sam Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 [hv=d=n&v=e&n=sakq6hqjdak8752ct&s=s97543ha64dcq9654]133|200|Scoring: XIMP[/hv]You have an interference-free auction. How would you bid the spade slam? At the table we reached 4♠ by South and made 12 tricks because trumps were 2-2. The heart king was offside but both minors broke 4-3. If you bid the slam, you are lucky that spades are 2-2 (making slam easy). However, even if they were 3-1, there should be good play for 12 tricks. Am I correct?

petergreat Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 You actually bid slam with this one? With a heart lead through the A you go down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 1♦ p 1♠ p4♣ or 4♦ and it's clearly biddable if south cuebids 4♥. I really don't think he should though. I don't see why you are dying to be in it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why you are dying to be in it anyway.At our table, the bidding went:1♦ - 1♠4♠ - all pass. The only reason for asking is that I saw one +980 on the traveler :) (alongside many +480s).

I don't see why you are dying to be in it anyway. Agree, and I think one table in slam is about normal for most fields. Most Souths wouldn't think to cuebid.
