655321 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 1) Pass2) Pass3) 4NT It is not obvious to me whether we are the partner of the 4♥ bidder or the 4♠ bidder on (2), but I pass anyway - would have bid 4♠ if partner is the 4♠ bidder.

Hanoi5 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Pass, Pass (after the corrected bidding sequence), 6NT (4NT if my partner might open with 19 or I'm too scared). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) (1) Pass. Any game seems to need fairly specific cards, and we probably don't have any way to investigate which game is best. (2) Pass. I've no reason to think we were making four hearts, or that they're going down. [edited after the auction was corrected] (3) I use my systemic method for showing a balanced slam try with five clubs. If I don't have one of those, maybe I should have?

Codo Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 1. pass, obvious2. double, it is mps and I guess that both strechted and 3 is the limit.3. I would ask for a fit if possible. If I cannot find a fit, I would invite with 4 NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooltuna Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 1] pass2] pass3] depends on what systems are available for example if I try 4NT will partner accept with a number of aces response? If I try 3♠ will partner qbid an acceptance and with 3NT and 4NT to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 1. pass. maybe they bid 4 looool 2. pass and it's pretty obvious. You have neither hcp nor fit!! 3. 6NT, unless pard has a flirt for opening 2NT on 19 counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Double is ok on the first one if 2♠ is really 8-12. It would be better if they were vul but they might go down two. Straightforward pass and 4NT on the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloa513 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 What makes ♣ worth showing- its not a great shape to give an option on contract maybe with singleton ace and those clubs then it maybe a decent alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 PassPassShow Cs or try 4NT if the former action is not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) What makes ♣ worth showing- its not a great shape to give an option on contract On the third one? Ax AKxx Axxx KQx or Axx AKxxx Ax KQx would make them worth showing, wouldn't it? Showing clubs doesn't compel you to play in the suit. Furthermore, if partner had AKQx AKQx Axx xx, he might want to know that his hand wasn't quite as good as it looks. maybe with singleton ace and those clubs then it maybe a decent alternative.If I had five clubs and a singleton ace, I'd also have a second suit, so I'd show both suits.

ajm218 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Guess i should reveal what happened... board 1, i doubled and conceeded 3♥x tick, lesson learnt...board 2, i doubled and collected 300 - accept this wasn't a great action but p saved me with more defence than he might have had...board 3, I had AKQ Axxx AJTx KJ so accepted p's invite, they didn't lead a ♥ so it rolled home - if my hand can be this good and it still be "no play" (much more likely to go off at imps as the opening leader would have probably lead away from his KJT9♥?) should we be just inviting or even not inviting unless you have methods to show the exact hand type?
