Phil Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Particpants in the #1571 ACBL robot dupicate were treated to this auction (board 12): You hold: ♠K♥Ax♦AQT9xxx♣AQx Partner opens 1♥. Judging your suit quality to be non-solid, you eschew a SJS in favor of 2♦. 1♥ - 2♦2♥ - 3♦4♦ Seems like a sensible plan so far, don't you think?

bb79 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Phil's post has inspired me to post this hand. http://tinyurl.com/mpppoc maybe GIB downgrades clubs since I experienced a situation where it hold a similar holding as your case, forced to game after I opened 1♠, and then passed 2NT B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
