jdonn Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Well the example hand is a 2♦ rebid, but definitely if partner is 4-6 with a heart honor and strong enough for 3♦ he should reverse instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Free are you aware that even when you have all suits controlled, and some slam interest, you are not necessarily cold for a slam? There is more to making slam than having every suit controlled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1eyedjack Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 5♣ should be a cuebid without a ♠ cuebid. Not to insist, or even suggest, that 5♣ as "Last Train" is right for this hand, is there some underlying rule which determines that 5♣ would be a cue and not Last Train in this sequence, or is it something that I would just have to remember about this specific sequence? I prefer to remember rules that cover general cases than to remember separate rules that cover a load of specific instances in the absence of the general.

MinorKid Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 It makes me think of a hand I played. Partner[N]♠ AKxxxx♥ -♦ Kxxxxx♣ A Me♠ x♥ AQxx♦ AQx♣ KQJTx The bidding wasN----S1♠ 2♣3♦ 4♦4♥ 4N5N 7N If on the other hand partner takes captaincityN----S1♠ 2♣3♦ 4♦5N 7♦We would have missed 7N (7♦ makes but 7N is better) I think that may be the reason of your 4♥ cue appears instead of 4NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
