The 1♦ opening was standard, i.e. either 4+ cards or 4432. If 5♦ was wrong, what should a 5♦ bid look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I think the 5♦ bid is ok. If anything, the hand is a little too strong. So 100% blame to South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonottawa Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I predict a unanimous poll. Unless someone assigns some % of the blame to N for agreeing to play with S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 What was south thinking, 2-2 in the majors with the king of spades over a passed hand bidding 5♠? Just pass and let north crack it. Btw south should also open 1NT and I don't think it's that close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 bidding 6 over 5 is not the way to win imps (or friends) :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachy Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 South made a mistake of bidding 6D. I don't know if this auction creates FP for NS, (it shouln't because responder was a passed hand) but *if* it does, then Dbl is automatic, warning partner not to bid more. If it doesn't, I'm torn between Pass and Dbl but I would never do the solo 6D with this type of hand = bad distribution, bad majors, badly placed SK.

Vilgan Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 3 bad bids 1♦ opener (how the hell is this not a 1 NT opener?!?)5♦ bid by north (why aren't you asking for a spade stopper again?)6♦ by south I'd say 95% south 5% north. Both of south's actions were clearly wrong while 5♦ by north is a meh bid but isn't clearly the wrong bid (imo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I don't know if this auction creates FP for NS, (it shouln't because responder was a passed hand) 5♦ is not a strong bid, it clearly wouldn't set up an FP even by a passed hand.
