TylerE Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I like a 5♠ bid. Asks for a raise if partner holds 2nd round heart control. Not perfect, but about the best option lacking very specific agreements (4♥ as a big spade hand would be nice here...). I don't blast 6.

Siegmund Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Call me a chicken. Just 4S for me. Yeah, a slam is possible. But the odds are against it with an opener supposedly having 2 defensive tricks, and the risk of 2-2 hearts. I'd like to explore for it, but most cheap bids are just going to get partner to bid his better minor, and I worry 5S is too high. Easy to be losing one heart and one minor ace, for instance.

Fluffy Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 only 4♠ for me also. It sucks that it could be a grand but I don't see any 5 level safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 No one thinks that partner may be offshape with a great hand without many spades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 No one thinks that partner may be offshape with a great hand without many spades? He might be. What would you suggest that we do about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 No one thinks that partner may be offshape with a great hand without many spades? If he has that, we may have grand and he won't pass 4♠... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 No one thinks that partner may be offshape with a great hand without many spades? It's ok. I have spades in case partner doesn't have many :) I think the real question Phil was asking was, "What will doubler do with a non-spadish monster?" If she does anything over 4S, we will be in at least 6S. 2 crummy spades and no heart control seems remote if she bids again -- and especially if she doesn't.
