Poky Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 They are white. IMP. ♠-♥JT♦JTxx♣KQJTxxx 1♥ (2♠) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 5♣ feels like a good shot. Lite on defense, and some extra clubs and shape in reserve. If pard doubles 5♠ I'll feel better about it versus if I pulled a double of 4♠ and then had to consider the second double of 5♠. Might even get a push to 6 with an imaginative pard.

aguahombre Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I chose 5C, but the poll will be skewed by people's style about what 3C shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I chose 5C, but the poll will be skewed by people's style about what 3C shows. Yeah. I figure 3♣ should show more high cards, so 5♣ is preemptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yeah 5♣ even though we are vul. KQJ10xxx is definitely called trumps. If I wasn't allowed 5♣ then I would bid 3♣ and I don't play NFB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcLight Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Why are you preempting a preempt at IMPs?Bidding 5C and going down? Possibly a lot?Maybe they make or go down in 2♠.Not a big deal.Bidding at the 5 level requires some good cards by pard. Pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 5♣ seems good to me, I hadn't even thought of it actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Somehow I hate 5 Club. :ph34r: Your partner opened red, they made a weak jump in white. Why do we want to hog the bidding? Partner can never evaluate hands like AKxx, AKxxx,xx,Ax or xx,AKQxx,Axxx,Ax or xxx,AKQxx,AKQxx,- to give some extreme examples. It will get even worse when they bid 5 spade in front of him.. So you throw a grenade and hope that it will detonate in the face of the opponents. But why should it? I think this is a hand for constructive bidding, but okay it is much cooler to bid 5 club then 3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
