LHO hand hidden here and please bid for him too: KQxx KJTxxx xxx (spade void ;) ) result here: 6 spx-3 at the other table. hearts make 12 tricks.

P_Marlowe Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hi, 4S, planning to sac. depening on how confident they do bid the slam, I will let them play 5H. LHO: I guess it is either X or 5H, we have ??? support, hence 5H it is. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Interesting that our LHO has already passed making this one very solid 3H o/c. The opps may not have any way of showing 2 suited hands. 6 losers is all there is so 6S looks sensible as I am confident they have 12 tricks. This kind of reminded me of a hand I held once with AKQxxx S and partner opened a weak 2S. I held Qx in H and splintered scooping my Q to beat their slam a trick. That was funny, well to me it was.

pooltuna Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 hidden reply for the tuna: spades make 9 tricks, hearts make 12 tricks But with the wide range of hands for a 3♥ call are you as West willing to go to 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 no. i just asked you to bid for us and LHO. so how can you go for 500 or 800 in 5♠ if 6♠ was only down 3? actually in the original post I mistakenly wrote that 6S was down 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the number of tricks I actually go down my assumption was based on CHO holding a 6322 hand with an unspecified arrangement of the non-♠ cards.

gwnn Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 well in the opening post I wrote the result (under the line "result here:"), did you miss that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I think it's so unlikely they either make or will bid a grand that I don't like jumping to 6 right away. I'll start with 4 to try and let them stop in 5, but if they bid 6 I'll sac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 6♠ looks reasonable and then please stfu over 7♥ (assuming LHO makes a FP and RHO goes). I take it pard had the ♣A? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 yea Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Kid Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I like the idea of bidding 4♠ and sacrificing over 6♥ which was mentioned by others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old York Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I happily bid 6♠ and might even get +100 when they bid 7♥ I also like the idea of bidding 3NT and then rescuing myself when doubled :) Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 At this vuln 1100 is the worst we can ever go for. They only need to make 6 for 6♠ to be right, and if partner has a stiff any where we down 800 at most which isn't a horrific disaster opp. a vuln game.

gwnn Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 why isnt anyone bidding with LHO hand? i invented an innovative thread format but nobody is interested :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 4♠, I like to try to let them play at the 5 level. bidding 4♠ LHO would bid 5♥ with that holding IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wank Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 well obviously over 4s lho should volunteer 5D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 And over 6♠ it's obviously not obvious what LHO should do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
