Jlall Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Weird hand... guess I'd give it 5H, we don't need much for slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi, I think, it is only the question, if you want to insist on slamor just invite.If p could still have 10-12 bal., I guess you should just bid6H, if he already has denied this hand (*), than 5H may well beenough, but 6H ist still tempting. (*) Depends to a large degree about the meaning of 4m, if 4m isnatural or if it is a cue. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Weird hand... guess I'd give it 5H, we don't need much for slam. Your partner's must expect a lot from your hand for a 5♥ bid I would bid 6 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachy Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I have to try once, something on the 5-level. Probably just 5H. I can't afford to bid 4S, partner might be misled about my heart length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I know 5♥ asks him to look at his majors, but xx Kxxx or x Jxxx makes a decent slam. I don't think he's going to accept the try with that, so I'd bid 6♥ myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I have to take one more call for slam here. I think it is a bit aggressive just to bid 6♥ outright, but it maybe close to 50/50. Lacking firm agreements about what 5m would mean here, I think I just try 5♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'm closer to busting out 6♥ than I am to passing. x JTxx xxxx xxxx has play for a grand, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Kid Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 6♥ for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 First choice 6♥, second choice a cuebid - God only knows which one. Definitely not bidding 5♥, which supposedly says I am afraid of my trump quality for slam, and I can make slam opposite a lot of Jxx and Jxxx heart holdings.

I don't think he's going to accept the try with that, so I'd bid 6♥ myself. Yeah I agree 5H can miss some good slams but I think it avoids more bad slams than it misses good ones. I guess one thing working in it's favor is sometimes on the bad layouts you're too high in 5 anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 if we haven't promised 5 hearts yet I like my chances in 6♥ right now, otherwise it is a lot tougher, and even pass might be indicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 4 ♥ was the weakest bid partner could make- besides 4 ♠. So 6♥ is too much for me. I try 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I don't know what is the official style, but my partner can't. They can bid 3 NT with heavy minors, 3 Spade with spades and anything else ist heading towards slam in Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
