pooltuna Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 [hv=d=w&v=n&s=sk3hda8532cakqjxx]133|100|Scoring: IMPPass - 1NT (11-14) - 3H (weak) - ?[/hv] I made a pig's ear of this hand. What would you bid? are there any systemic consequences to the bids I would consider, 3NT, 4♥ (planning on a 5♣ rebid over 4♠), 5♣, 6♣ ?

P_Marlowe Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 4C. I would start showing my suits. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I would bid 6 Club and take it from there. I won't found out on a convienied level about the missing aces and kings, so I will blast and let the sweat. No need to show a two suiter as their are neraly no hands which play better in diamonds then in clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 6♣. Can anyone come up with a hand for partner where diamonds plays better? Therefore, I don't see the need to show my 'suits' and will just bid my suit. 4♣ might elicit some useful information from partner and I wouldn't object to that call.

Fluffy Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 6♣ seems about right, partner will understand that it must be based on heart void, and even raise from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 6♣ seems about right, partner will understand that it must be based on heart void, and even raise from time to time. Off AKQJ of clubs?? And another ace? I don't object to blasting 6♣ on hands like this in principle but this is just too good and I think I have a chance to bid a grand intelligently, so 4♣.

Been awhile since I've seen that. 4 ace bw is rare enough. Take away a few diamonds and its a good call. By the way, how can you ever be sure partner is covering diamonds?

EricK Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 My first reaction was 6♣. I don't believe I would be able to intelligently find out whether 7 is there, or whether 6 is terrible. Other people may have more confidence in their partnership agreements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 6C is so ridiculously lol. Just start with 4C and see what's happening, you could easily have a grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricK Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 What agreements do people have after 4♣? What are typical hands for 4♦, 4♥, 4♠, 4NT and 5♣? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 What agreements do people have after 4♣? What are typical hands for 4♦, 4♥, 4♠, 4NT and 5♣? 4D/4S/4N nat, 4H good hand for clubs imo.

Codo Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 What agreements do people have after 4♣? What are typical hands for 4♦, 4♥, 4♠, 4NT and 5♣? 4D/4S/4N nat, 4H good hand for clubs imo. No doubt some might disagree with this :lol: I guess this is the majority view. But how do you proceed? Lets say partner bids 4 Spade, one of his most likely continuations. How does he know that he does not need any red ace and any club honour but just Axxx,Qjxx,KQx,xx to make the grand slam laydown? How do you proceed? Or maybe he bids 4 NT with QJxx,, KJxx,KQx,xx and you? 5 HEart? Which shows/aks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I'll bid the ridiculous 6♣ because A. I think I can make it, and B. I don't think it's possible to bid a grand reasonably. It *could* go... 1NT (3♥) 4♣ (pass)4♦ and then you could EKCB. But this rates to be so unlikely I would prefer not to mess up and bid a straight 6♣.
