Fluffy Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 ♠x♥Ax♦AKQJxxxxx♣x all vul, partner deals and passes pass-1♠- I tried 3♠, partner bid 3NT and I passed, but I wasn't very happy with my bidding, do you have better ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Shouldn't X then 5♦ be about this hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I like 3♠ but I would pull 3NT to 4♦. I'm trying to show a good hand with a solid suit that has too much potential to pass 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 raise 3NT to 4NT, to show your 2 extra tricks. (Or even 5NT if you feel lucky) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 At least you did not need to play 7 ♦ on this hand as a famous pair did.... I think that 5 ♦ is the best bid. It is possible that we can make 3 NT and that they still can make 4 ♠, so I think removing the bidding space is the best we can do.Okay, we do not need much from partner for a slam, but I will pay the price that we may miss one for the chance to let them guess on the 5 level.

gwnn Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Shouldn't X then 5♦ be about this hand? don't double on a solid 9 card suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I tried 3♠ then pass 3NT, worked like a charm when partner held ♠QJx♥QJxx♦x♣Kxxxx 5♦ should go down but many tables made. My team mate did very well with ♠AK10xxx♥Kxxx♦x♣Jx when LHO overcalled 2♦ he pased it out for -150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
