gwnn Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 it's a bit crazy all the hcp everywhere! but we have 23 and we just need ♠kq from GOP and 5 level safety is almost certain so yea 4NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooltuna Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 4nt and how would 4NT be different over 4♠ after you splintered in ♦ or would 4♦ be natural? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 4nt and how would 4NT be different over 4♠ after you splintered in ♦ or would 4♦ be natural? I don't think 4♦ would be a splinter, at least in how I play with my partners. We have the rule "In competition, you can only splinter in one of the opponents suits."

So what's the point in splintering if I'm taking charge of the hand anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's the point in splintering if I'm taking charge of the hand anyway? Because on other hands partner's knowledge of your shortness may help him cooperate in a grand try. Obviously not here however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I was thinking 3♣ since a diamond tap may badly hurt a spade contract if partner has Hxxx or something. However that also means partner doesn't have A or K of diamonds which really isn't leaving him anything at all for his bid, so in that case he would have a 5 card suit. Therefore I agree with simple keycard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's the point in splintering if I'm taking charge of the hand anyway? If you can never imagine partner being involved in the final decision none. And why ask, just bid 6♠ unless you really think he will show up with a 5♠ call or if you plan to bid 7♠ over a 5♥ call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 4NT seems canonical. Followed by the appropriate nr of spades. 5, 6 or 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 righty 3rd seat w/r... doesn't take a rocket scientist... yea but it's still a little crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 4NT. Could be that someone is psyching, and partner actually has the KQ of spades and the diamond ace. Certainly doesn't hurt to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 4NT, and I assume ♠Q is falling or gonna be found by partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbradley62 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Since the original question is "What is your bidding plan?", not simply "What do you bid now?", and presuming that you bid 6♠ if partner has one keycard plus the Q♠ and 7♠ if partner has two keycards and the Q♠...What do you plan to do if partner shows:(a) 2 keycards without the Q♠,(b) 1 keycard without the Q♠, and( c) 0 keycards with the Q♠?

ArtK78 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 1) 6♠.2) 6♠.3) 4♠. And, since I would not ask about the ♠Q after a zero or one response to 4NT, I would not know whether partner had the ♠Q, but that is nitpicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 4nt and how would 4NT be different over 4♠ after you splintered in ♦ or would 4♦ be natural? 2D is described as a good H raise, not as a natural bid. So a 4D bid would be natural of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 4D is a splinter in my world. 3D shows diamonds and is forcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
