WesleyC Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I would rather have raised (transferred to?) spades the first time. I've got no strong preference now. Maybe 6S? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 6♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I like my partner now. 6♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 6♠, like the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 What suit are you expecting to play in if not ♠? Since you have LR strength why not follow the "support with support" principle and get the hand off your chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Agree with 6♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Auto 6♠. I would feel unlucky if we cashed two black winner vs 6♦, but its quite possible that 6♠ is a good sac against a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 It's hard to criticise the transfer to clubs, which has worked out very well. I'd bid 6♠. its quite possible that 6♠ is a good sac against a game.That might make your scorecard look better, but it would still be a large swing. If you go for 500 in 6♠ instead of taking 100 from 6♦, you've gone from +7 against par to -5 against par, so your save has cost 12 IMPs.

karlson Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Seems like consensus. I also bid 6♠ but one good player I asked afterwards said he'd pass. 6♦ was an easy make and 6♠ will go for 1100 (partner has something like ♠QJTxx ♥xx ♦x ♣Kxxxx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I think 5♣ was too much with your partner's hand. 4♣ seems reasonable. Not that it will necessarily change your decision to sac, but it might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 6♠ for me. On a good day it might even make... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Yes 6♠, but I would have slightly prefered to raise spades immediately, since I don't mind a spade lead. Showing clubs is more urgent with ♠xxx or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 6D on this auction is almost free. Opponents take the bounce sac way often so 6D only needs about 35% to make. Why would they 5D on 65% when 6D has 35% make + 70% sac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
