jjbrr Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 this is just poker now. if these are the only facts we get, i assume we have no choice but to quickly bid some level of NT. I'll try 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 this is just poker now. if these are the only facts we get, i assume we have no choice but to quickly bid some level of NT. I'll try 6. I'll try 7NT. The odds are strong that partner's K is a ♥ so we may have 16 tricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 i chose 6 because my opponent, if he's paying attention, could easily double 6♦ with long diamonds and the ♥K. Unless there are more inferences to this auction we don't know, like partner pulls to 4♥ only with great hands with 4 Keycards, the 3N/4N bidder can only really bid blackwood with a good suit of his own. the limited hand with 1 ace suddenly decided he was worth a grand try? 6♦ doubler knows 3N bidder needs the ♥K for grand. So I'm not sold that partner is necessarily more likely to have the ♥K. Also, opener might just have Axx AKxxxx xxx A or something and grand is on 3-3♣. Finally, I don't think i deserve 2220 on this auction, and i dont think my poor opponents deserve -2220. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
