PFormaini Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 One of the clearest PASSES I have ever seen. That is, if partner has the values for BOTH doubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I hate passing with trumps this weak since under the primary bidder. 4♣ but maybe I am worth more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Pass on the previous round seems OK. I would bid 5♣ now. Second choice Pass, but I think they will make too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Agree with the prior pass. 3NT is out this round since it's probably just down on a spade lead. 4♣ is out since I don't think it's ambitious enough, I have quite a nicer hand than I might have at this point. So it's pass or 5♣. I'll go for 5♣ since I like the added bonus that partner may be able to bid a good slam, especially if he has a spade void.

PFormaini Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 If partner has THAT strong a hand and a Spade void, he should have cue-bid 3♠ the first time - not made a takeout double. His second double implies general strength that is both offensive and defensive, since he did not either show a predominant suit of his own OR cue bid to show a monster.

mike777 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 edit: I will try 5c but I thought it was close. Will assume 20 total tricks. We can make 11 and they can make 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 If partner has THAT strong a hand and a Spade void, he should have cue-bid 3♠ the first time - not made a takeout double. His second double implies general strength that is both offensive and defensive, since he did not either show a predominant suit of his own OR cue bid to show a monster. 5C. Pass is off the planet.The direct cue bid to show a super strong hand went out when Noah revoked playing in the Ark championships. Not one good player that I know of, plays it this way anyomore.Some pairs use it to show a 2 suiter and some others to show a long solid running suit and asking for a stopper.

Foxx Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 So 4♣ was the big winner, huh? Congrats Cascade. But still, I would want to be in 5♣, there are only two obvious losers and at worst it looks like it has play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
