CarlRitner Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 4NT should show a two-suiter, and correcting the inevitable 5♣ to 5♦ should show your suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 4S. They got you, but xxx in hearts is a sign, that you may not miss anything. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 It really depends on vul/opponents. I mean if your RHO won't open 4♥ without 8 of them, as is true for some people, then you really have a slam force since they can't possibly take the first two tricks in hearts if you declare (yes I know you could go down anyway). Here I'll bid 4NT first as I think it's most likely to get us to slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Wow I think 4N is a huge bid on this hand. I would just bid 4S and not think twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlRitner Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Wow I think 4N is a huge bid on this hand. I would just bid 4S and not think twice. Yeah, I don't think I'd bid it either, unless my Gadget-itis kicks in again. I tend to make wrong unilateral decisions though, so keeping my options open is tempting.

I think it should but i fail to construct a line that works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it should but i fail to construct a line that works! No line for 6 ♠, except on a high club or a spade lead. W always scores the spade J; if declarer plays on cross-ruff lines the spade 8 can ruff in front of dummy while if declarer tries drawing trump the club J scores the setting trick. If E is on lead, it starts heart-heart-heart ruff, and 10's the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 First instinct says 4♠. It's true that we can have a much weaker hand than this but the 5 level could be dangerous which is depended upon the size of dummy's spades and diamonds. My 2nd choice would be 4NT.
