P_Marlowe Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I think, Pass is clear cut. 4D should have set diamonds as tumps and should also have shownserious slam interest, so 5D was the weakes bid partner had av.If you bid slam now, your intention was to bid slam after partner opened,because at every turn your partner choose to make the weakes bid. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 w vs r: ♠♥AK7♦AQJ9xxxx♣xx It goes:1♠ 2♦2♠ 3♦3♠ 4♦5♦ ??? I hate 3♦ unless it was forcing. But yes I bite the bullet and bid 6!? unless it was forcing? You really thought someone will bid this NF 3♦ with *8* of them after partner opened? I would pass 5♦ and thought it was an easy pass. Partner could have done something over 4♦ if he has any life but didn't. 5♦ could even be going down if partner has nothing in clubs...

ONEferBRID Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 pass 5♦. 2♠ was weak,3♠ was weaker still,5♦ was still screaming WEAK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Pass. We probably have a diamond loser and a club loser. Frankly we might be too high ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Pass. We probably have a diamond loser and a club loser. Frankly we might be too high ;)yep. And obviously the OP's 3D was forcing in their agreements, or he wouldn't have given it with that hand. Partner has had enough chances to help, time to pass.

peachy Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 If this was my auction, in 2/1:1S-2D (GF nat)2S-3D (2S does not promise six, 3D extra length)3S-4D (six spades, 4D sets diamonds and slam interest)5D-P (5D=nothing to cue, can't RKC either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I don't have the luxury of forcing 3D in this auction so it would be: 1S-2D2S-3C3S-5D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Even if 3♦ is forcing what would 4♦ mean?maybe diamondwood, or maybe they just don't like to jump around in GF auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Even if 3♦ is forcing what would 4♦ mean? A picture jump. Spade support, great diamonds, no side controls. On the actual hand -- pass. Partner doesn't have the King of diamonds and the Ace of clubs or the Ace and King of clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the actual hand -- pass. Partner doesn't have the King of diamonds and the Ace of clubs or the Ace and King of clubs.actually, since 2S did not guarantee 6, 4S--not 4D should show that picture bid. However, the conclusion that opener does not have the ak of clubs or the king of diamonds and a club control is still absolute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeegan Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 :) PassI can't imagine any other bid. Partner has a min opener with 6 or 7 ♠. 6♦ could be on, but we shouldn't dream of bidding it on this ugly, ugly auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Pass. We probably have a diamond loser and a club loser. Frankly we might be too high :angry: Agree. Pass is clear. 5D could even be a void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 You didn't manage to sort out whether pard has a min or not, so you're on a bit of a guess here. Better pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I have not enough imagination, 2♦ + 4♦ means we are playing diamonds, probably better than 3, but 3 is reasonable. As it is now, partner could have ♠KJ10xxxx ♥Qx ♦K ♣Axx and we would have cold slam, but most likelly its that we lose 2 clubs or 1 diamond and 1 club.

mtvesuvius Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Partner probably doesn't have much in the ways of a club control, and we may be off the K♦. I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 4D after 3S show a S void, self-sufficient D and slammish. So partner should try to cuebid with the K of D and the club A. 6 is still possible but you have to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Pass. I'd be happy if even 5♦ makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
