jdonn Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 1 2 3 4 5 in a minor is the most quoted 'cool' auction people report, it happens all the time. 1 2 3 4 5 6 is rare and i have never seen outside mycrofts post. The coolest I have managed is1♠ 2♣2♠ 3♥3♠ 3NT4♠ 5♦5♠ 6♥ Where 1♠ was natural but 2♠ 3♠ 4♠ and 5♠ were all artificial and said nothing about spades.

Siegmund Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 My coolest-ever auction was cool in the opposite way: (3♠) - 4♥ - (5♦) - 6♣. I was the 4H bidder, raised my p to 7♣ because I had the ace of clubs, got doubled, and partner made it when RHO guessed wrong whether to lead a spade or a diamond. Happened in a hand-shuffled sectional team game. We called the director over to look at the auction. He copied the hand down, saying "Im gonna show this to the people who complain computer-dealt hands are too weird." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 The Viking club produces some funny ones for us. We had this sequence recently but there have been others also I don't remember now. 1♣-1♦1♥-1♠1NT-2♣2♦-2♥2♠-pass Responder has shown a shapely invitational hand with long spades opposite opener's 19-21NT.

jeffford76 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I managed this variant on "everyone bids a minor" at a sectional a couple month ago: (1D) P (P) 2D(X) 3D (5D) 6D(P) 6H (AP) Making 7 on the wrong lead, but cold for 6. Partner had sandbagged with 8 solid clubs, then never bid the suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 At the club we once had this nonremarkable auction: 1♣-p-1♠-xxx-2♥-2♠-pp-p The funny thing was that on the next board we had the exact same auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
