zheddh Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I will transfer to spades and initiate control bidding. If your control bids include second round control, 4C, else 4S to show a slam try in spades. (If no slam try, bid 4H or 4S directly, whichever applies to you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmc Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Transfer and bid 4 as a mild slam try with a 6-card suit. P shouldn't get excited unless he has good controls. jmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 suppose you're playing with someone who you don't expect to pick up the slow route as a mild slam try. how would you bid there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 suppose you're playing with someone who you don't expect to pick up the slow route as a mild slam try. how would you bid there? I would make a mild try myself with 4 club, hoping this shows a control. If this shows a suit, I make the bid which can be made with a mild slam try, whatever it is.If my descissions are between: 4 spade to play and 4 NT... oh well... I choose the later.

P_Marlowe Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 A good idea would be to transfer to spades followed bybidding 4S to show a mild slam invitation.This assumes that you play texas transfer besides regulartransfer. If not playing Texas, you can bid transfer, followed by 5S,5S should be a quatitative invite. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfay Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Totally comfortable bidding blackwood on this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I will transfer to spades and initiate control bidding. If your control bids include second round control, 4C, else 4S to show a slam try in spades. (If no slam try, bid 4H or 4S directly, whichever applies to you) Except your next call after a transfer isn't a control, its a second suit. I would transfer and bid key card. True, the hand isn't that great, but I'm having a hard time coming with hands where we have enough controls where slam isn't decent and I can sensibly diagnose the problem. As an aside, is the consensus these days that ... ...2N - 4♥4♠ - 5♣ is a cue (since we can jump to 5♣ over a Jacoby transfer as exclusion)?
