neilkaz Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Auto 5♥ here at all vuls and from someone who thinks that many players compete to the 5 level and at the 5 level too frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmilne Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 just wanted to check :rolleyes: i bid 5♥ vul vs not, thought it was auto at all other vuls and probably this one too, its good to get forum confirmation though...

pooltuna Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 [hv=d=e&s=s6hakt9742da7ct95]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv] Bidding (you are West): Pass-(1♠)-2♥-(2♠)-3♥-(4♠)-? At what vulnerabilities would you consider bidding 5♥? I sell out to 4♠ only at unfavorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 at unfavourable I'd think about 3♥ instead of 2 but other than that I am trying 5 here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmilne Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 yeah, at unfav you're a little worried hitting something like xxx/QJxx/QJxx/Kx opposite, where you go -500 if the diamond hook is wrong. red vs white, it's wrong to bid whenever we have 9 or less tricks, or when we have 10 and they have 9 or less. it's right to bid whenever we have 11 or more tricks or both sides have 10. just trying to get a feel for what the frequencies look like (it's probably an easier question at matchpoints because only frequencies are relevant rather than relative risk/reward). so i guess the question could be rephrased as, do you think the probability that we make or have a good vul vs not save is greater than the risk of -500 or a phantom sac? it's probably just a thing you can build up over long experience... i did consider 3♥, but i didn't think it was going to cause them many problems and my hand kinda felt like a normal overcall.

Fluffy Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 lmilne you are forgetting that 5♥ doesn't have to be the final contract, nor it has to be doubled, by making a mistake yourself you are giving the last guess to opps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukmoi Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 As a law abiding citizen me too 5♥ in all vulnerabilities. With possible 21 total tricks both contracts (4♠ and 5♥) might make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
