Hanoi5 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Red vs White, you hold: ♠♥AK8764♦83♣AK832 Pa-1♠-2♥-4♠Pa-Pa-??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 You have to bid 5C here, you make game opposite a decent fit and nothing else. Sometimes you will have a big misfit and it will go wrong and you go for a number (which will suck since you also were probably beating them), but sometimes you are cold and they are cold, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Or they take the push to 5♠ which we beat. Give pard some club length and the ♦A and we are making 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'd be willing to bet if they take the push to 5S, they won't be doing it when it's a phantom very often at all, but yeah thats always a possible upside with bidding. They might also not be able to double sometimes and we get a red/white save (or we might just be down 1 vs their game). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 5♣, partner should know we are 6-5 given our absence of a michaels cue bid. Our hand is pretty good with our AKAK and I can't bare to not bid with a potential double game swing that could be involved in this deal.

dake50 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Yeah, yeah. But will partner 6C with H:xx, D:A(x..), C:Qxxx? Should he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I think 6C is less stupid than its notable absence from the preceeding posts suggests. It would be then that they'd be phantoming over it and we get another 200 for no apparent reason. Still, I would not bid 6, just 5. I am sure there are people who pass here so 5C can already win some imps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanp Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I wouldn't have bid 2H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloa513 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 The other alternative is you push them into a making 6 Spades which they may have depending on their systems found it difficult to bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Prefer the michaels, but now I'm ok. 5♣, then double if they haggle about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
