louisg Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Yes, bid game. I see the doubleton heart and the form of scoring, but when game is a favorite opposite as little as ♠Axxx ♥xx ♦xxxx ♣Axx it would be cowardly in the extreme not to bid it here.

neilkaz Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 4♠ for sure for me..perhaps it makes..perhaps it is an advance sac. It really seems to be too committal to pass out 4♥ if opener bids it anyhow, so I'll bid it right now. One hopes PD can count high card points around the table to some extent and that he realizes I am bidding on distribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hog Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yes, 4S here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiddity Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 At matchpoints I would just bid 3S. Edit - I should say: at matchpoints I would just try to stay with the field. I suspect the field action is 3S, though in a more aggressive field it may be right to bid 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegill Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 looks like an auto 4♠ to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 A direct 4♠ seems clear enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel_k Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 4♠. Not close at all, as others have said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I also don't know what this obsession with bidding the same as the field - if it's the right bid to bid 4♠, but everyone is in 3♠, then why not take the free matchpoints!

peachy Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I don't see this as a problem. 4S looks clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
