gwnn Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I held AxAKxQ9xxQ9xx in a robot dupli so I opened 1NT. So my friend the robot bid 2NT transfer to clubs and I bid 3♣. At this point he bid 3♠ showing a singleton spade (6+C, 1-S, 9+total points). There will be follow-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zheddh Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I held AxAKxQ9xxQ9xx in a robot dupli so I opened 1NT. What will you open against real opponents? This looks like an easy 4H to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 against real opponents I open 1 No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Yeah 4♥ if p understands it. Check if it doesn't promise four hearts (GIB might pass it with 3). Otherwise just bid 5♣ or maybe 4♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like an easy 4H to me. and where does the OP says that the robot holds 4♥ in fact with 1426 I suspect the bidding would go 2♣ instead of 2NT. So enjoy playing your 33 or 32 trump fit :) I'll just bid either 4 or 5♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 5 ♣ He will never udnerstand 4 Heart as just 3 Hearts, why should he?Why should anybody understand that as anthing else then a suggestion to play opposite his 3 card suit?

Gib doesn't cue bid? Why would 4H be anything but a cue for clubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y66 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 4C then 4H over 4D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Playing with GIB I bid 5♣. GIB may bid 6♣ over 5♣, in which case I just hope it is right. Too many times I have seen GIB pass a bid like 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 4♣ then 5♣ with gib. He is more likely to bid a bad slam over that than miss a good slam if I bid 4♥ at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 OK! So you have to play 5♣ after GIB bids 5♣ over whatever you bid. The lead is the 7 of diamonds and dummy comes down with: [hv=d=s&n=s6hq52da43cajt542&s=sa7hak3dq962cq987]133|200|Scoring: MP[/hv] How do you play this? If you play a low diamond from dummy, right hand gib wins the king, returns the 5, left hand gib ruffs in with the 3. If you play the club queen from your hand at any point, left hand gib will play the 6. If you play the Ace from dummy, and you later try the diamond finesse, it will be on. diamonds are 5-1 (with LHO having 1). whenever you play the club queen from your hand, left hand gib will play the 3.

jdonn Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I play low on the lead. If the queen wins I finesse clubs. If it goes to the king and a diamond comes back and is ruffed, I base my club play on Gib's tempo when I lead one from my hand. If it goes to the king and a diamond comes back and is not ruffed and LHO plays a higher diamond I finesse clubs (I realize the lead could still have been a doubleton but I can't help myself), but if he plays a lower diamond I'll go up ace of clubs.

I play a low ♦ and play the A♣ on the first lead as 3NT has to go down for me to get a good score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Gib is not underleading the DK here into our 1N opener. I pop ace. Then I play ace of spades and queen of clubs to the ace. If the CK is on we are getting screwed since the field will bid 3N with a spade stopper. So lets hope it's off and let's not go down. If both follow I strip out the hand and exit a club in case I was wrong about gib underleading the DK and it happened to have Kx of clubs onside so I can endplay it.

gwnn Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I followed the line suggested by pooltuna (I hope you're not offended by my thread title-it was meant for me :rolleyes: ) and went down 1. Some people were indeed in 3NT and some people got to slam I think some gibs jumped to 6 if they heard 4H. Of course if I had played 6C I'd have made it:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
