rfedrick Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 7-board swiss teams, game all, team-mates are +680 so your choice will swing 26 imps. Two affable gentlemen bid 1♦-1♥; 1♠-6♠ and you have to lead from xxx xxx J QJ10xxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mich-b Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 ♦J.This will require the least from partner to beat the slam. Also , most LHOs would be much more likely to bid like that missing a ♦ control than missing a ♣ control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_20686 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Jd seems very obvious. If you think about it the 6s bidder almost certainly has a club void for is bidding. it would be bizarre for him to have a diamond void, and with no void he is near certain to have bid BW whatever his level. My second choice would be a trump. I am trying to work out what hand he has to bid like this, and im going to guess its aboutAKxxAKxxxxKQx- and that he thinks one of the red suits will come in. Given how good his hand must be, a void and lack of sufficient tools must be the only reason he has not had a sniff at grand, as 1s rebid is very wide ranging normally.

Two affable gentlemen bid 1♦-1♥; 1♠-6♠ and you have to lead from xxx xxx J QJ10xxx.It's not obvious to me. IMO ♦ = 10, Playing partner for ♦A or a quick trump entry. ♠ = 9, Cards seem to lie badly for declarer. Perhaps he needs some ruffs. ♦ = 6, Gives little away if opponents are stretching, ♥ = 3, But partner might have made a Lightner X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
