ONEferBRID Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Who has the Spades ?Partner rates to have long Diam ( ~ 7 cards ) not to make a Neg-DBLif he also has 4 cards Sp.That doesn't leave much room for Hts or Cl. He could well be void in Hts. I'll just go ahead and bid 6D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 3H. Game forcing, setting my suit as trumps.I have a suit I can play oppossite a void,I will tell this partner. And besides, there are cases when 2D maybe based on a 4 carder, they may be rare,but they exist. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dake50 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 What does 3C cue show: 2-places to play and S-void to say next? Or 3S splinter as D-fit with H-solid next? Jump 3H as solid suit with S-void next then D-fit? Which are well-defined? Or are all these choices "hog on ice"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcurt Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 3♥. If partner bids 3♠, I can cue 4♣ and partner should be well placed to count tricks. If partner fails to cuebid spades, I'll bid 6♥ over 4♥ and I'll bid 4♠ over 4♦, then 6♣ over whatever is next. Then partner will bid 7♦ with solid diamonds.

OleBerg Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 This is from the ongoing European championships, and the board was played at a number of tables. Some chose 3♥ others 3♣. For resulters; partners hand was something like: ♠ Kxx♥ xx♦ AQJ9xx♣ xx so it is a 5 or 7 hand. That was not my reason for posting, however. Much as I like to set thrumphs on solid suits, I think this might not be the right time. It is not often that we play inferiorly (is that a word???) in diamonds, and if partner has ♦ AKxxx(x)(x), we should play in diamonds, on the vast majority of hands. (Slam is ok when partner has 5, and excellent with 6. With seven, grand is good, but might easily be evasive.) So the only reason I see, to bid 3♥, should be that we are afraid of the 5-level. And personally I dont think this justifies ruling out the diamond-slams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
