kenrexford Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Is partner's 3♠ call necessary systemically to show a sixth spade? If so, I think Opener has six spades, club support, and slam interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSGibson Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 my plan is to bid 5N, Grand slam force. If partner has slam interest when I have all of the first round controls, then we're going to 7. I figure partner has, at worst, a 6-1-2-4 or a 6-2-1-4 hand, and it might be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 What do we have for partner?, Poor trumps, 2 cover cards wich probably cover all of outside, but void in spades. How is he gonna stablish spades?. Just imagine clubs splitting 3-1 and you will see slam is gonna be poor. But partner should know this already, I'd bid 4♦ and let partner sing off in 5♣.

Little Kid Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Partner will most likely not not have 4♣ as he would have raised 3♣ rather than rebid 3♠ (not sure if everybody does this but I was pretty sure at this stage my p did not have 4♣). If you choose to bid 4♦, partner will bid 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Clubs are unlikely to split 3-1, more likely 4-1. Partner does not have 6 spades and 4 clubs unless he is a beginner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think partner has slam interest with something like 6/7-x-x-3 and not solid spades (but near solid-ish that we can probably rest in 4S). If I had 0-4-5-4 or 1-3-5-4 (no H stopper) or possibly a few 1-2-6-4's, I won't be rebidding 2NT so that means it's still possible for me to hold only 4 clubs. I think we should still be able to rest in 4S or 4NT contracts.I have some really good cards (including 5 clubs this time) and will now cooperate with 4D. Imagine ideal hands of AQJT9x xx Kx KQJ or AKT9xxx x Kx KJx or AKJTxx xx Kx QJx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y66 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 4D. My plan is to bid 6C over 4H. If pard bids anything else, we'll play in 5C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
