OleBerg Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 1♥ - 2♣ many ways to 6♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 1♣ (Precision) - 1NT (GF, 5+ ♣)2♣ (Trump ask) - 2♠ (5, 2 of Top 3)3♦ (Control ask) - 3♥ (4th round)4♥ (Control ask) - 5♦ (1st round, Denies K or Q)6♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Perfect auction, IMO. Opener could, in theory, toss back reconsideration of hearts by bidding 5♠, being all esoteric and risking a disaster, so 6♣ is practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'd also be in 6♣... He could've made it however. If - after finding out about the poor trumps split - he'd play on ♦ instead of ♥, he could've discarded the ♠ loser on the 4th ♦. Probably not the best line however.

P_Marlowe Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hi, Why would I seriously want to be in a 5-2 fit, if I have a 5-3 fit,and why is this even worth discussing? I am not sure, I would reach slam, but if I would, I wouldprefer to reach 6C, of course after I discover 6C-1 vs. 6H=I would like to be in 6H, but unfortunately, this will be too late. For the auction (assuming the system in place was 2/1): I think 2NT instead of 2H is better, you have a bal. handwith 10-12, why sell the hand as 6-9? With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I don't like East's 2♥, if 1♥ is limited it seems like a least of evils, I would probably bid a dreadfull 2NT. 3♣ wouldn't be avaible then (would be 0544 minimum) and we would win the booard by playing 3NT.

cRi cRi Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 French way would be : 1♥ - 2♣ 3NT (18-19) ..... and now ... tuff decision, maybe you can try 4♣ knowing part denied 4♦ or 4♠ but he also denied 4♣ so ... well ... make a choice and live with it :) ps : no way to end up playing 6♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mich-b Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 1♥ -2♣2♦- 2♥3♣ - 3♥3♠ - 4♣... 2♣ - I think A+AK and some nice spots is good enough for 2/1 GF.2♥ - Hx in ♥, no other good bid (no 4♦, no ♠ stopper)3♥ - ♥A4♣ - implying good trumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cRi cRi Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 we play 1 - 1 3nt as fit showing not 1 - 2 3nt :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_s Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 [hv=d=e&v=b&n=s1094ha4d1062cak943&s=sahkj1052dakj3cq87]133|200|Scoring: IMP1♥-1NT2♦-2♥3♣-4♠6♣[/hv] Time to display my ignorance: I don't understand this auction. Can someone help? 1♥ 1NT2♦ 2♥ Don't get this. This hand looks like a balanced invite to me, not a 6-9 signoff. I guess they must play this sequence as constructive but no fit. 3♣ 4♠ I see that opener is patterning out, and responder now knows there's a 5-3 club fit. But what is this 4♠? Evidently not a spade cue agreeing clubs. Edit: Just googled 'Bluhmer'. I get it now. 6♣ It's clear they're both on the same page though ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I thought 2♥ was a serious underbid, but maybe that's how they do it in Poland. I said "Bluhmer" to both commentators before 4♠, and lo and behold they drag it out. What is perhaps sad is someone said 4♠ was RKC (kickback I guess) for hearts ;). Pardon my stupidity here, but wouldn't 3♠ suffice as a Bluhmer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Pardon my stupidity here, but wouldn't 3♠ suffice as a Bluhmer? Maybe, but then what would 4♠ be except a SUPER BLUHMER? I joke, but with an internal AK-A, a doubleton heart, and five-card clubs, how much better can this hand be? Heck, 4♠ might even be too low. Maybe a 5♠ SUPER DUPER BLUHMER makes sense here, in light of the diamond 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhm Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Perfect auction, IMO. Opener could, in theory, toss back reconsideration of hearts by bidding 5♠, being all esoteric and risking a disaster, so 6♣ is practical. I find an auction difficult to evaluate if I do not understand it What agreements were in place where responder has a near game force and bids 1nt over 1♥ and then gives a simple preference over a 2♦ rebid? This is certainly not standard, where this sequence tends to show a much weaker responding hand Maybe 1NT was already game forcing. My knowledge is that this pair uses a variant of Polish Club.However the standard opening bid with the East hand is 1♣ not 1♥ in Polsih Club.
