Normally his openings in 1st hand are ok, but they can be weaker with good shape.1♦-(1NT!)-2♥!-(4♥)Pass-(pass)-??1NT=♣&♥ (NonVul 4-4 or better, with 4-4 around an opening)2♥=GF, 5+card ♠ What do you bid now? Will you force to 6?What is a 5♥ bid here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Presumably partner's pass of 4♥ doesn't suggest much values in hearts so I will bid 5♥ showing 1st round control inviting 6 unless partner bids 5♠ I think.. Would 3♠ over 1NT be a GF fitshowing jump?I'm kind of afraid LHO is 5-1 in the round suits and will be able to get a club ruff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partner looks to have no more than 3 ♥ so ought to have useful minor suit cards. I shoot 6♠ and hope his minor suits work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jlall Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'm shooting out slam. Partner won't know some really awful looking hands on this auction make it, like x Qxxx AKxxxx Jx Dunno, seems lazy we could still have 7 easily. Partner's pass is forcing so he could have a reasonable hand. 5H followed by 6S seems better, if partner bids 7 over that it must be good.
