gwnn Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) xAJ9KxxxAQxxx unfav. imps 1♣-4♠-5♥-5♠? a. Partner is very reliableb. Partner is not very reliable edit: by unreliable I mean his 5H bid could be unorthodox and his 2nd round decision inaccurate. But he wouldn't pass it out if we pass.

effervesce Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 a) Pass, showing interest in bidding moreb ) I'm tempted just to bid 6♥ hoping the opps will save, but given partner's bid could be not that great if unreliable, and partner's play will likely not be optimal in a close contract, I'll just pass again (hmmm or unless partner is so bad he'd never X, then I'd X).

jukmoi Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Surely pass is forcing even with an unreliable partner? It feels just about right showing willingness to go on if partner has extra values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 our cards are just wonderful, I am bidding 6♥ in both cases. 5NT blackwood if I had that agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjbrr Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I'm in for 6♥. Even if this is wrong they sacrifice sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 partner has nothing, 5s and 6h both down 1. -200 won 9 imps because teammates brought back +590 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 so be it, but losing 8 IMPs for +300 when we could win +13 in 1430 would be very stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
