pooltuna Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 You hold at IMP pairs [hv=d=n&s=sat2h4dk87432ck93]133|100|Scoring: XIMP[/hv] and hear the auction proceed 2♣ P 3♦ P3♠ P 4NT P6♣ P ? Do you have enough information to comfortably pick the contract? While I am sure you are delighted with the auction feel free to comment :) Partner held KQJ9863AKJ5AQ- :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Rather undelighted so far B) - I don't like 3♦. It is a space hog, and K - empty 6th is not sufficient. - I suppose you felt trapped into bidding 4N since 4♣ could be misconstrued. - 6♣ should be an odd number of key cards with a club void. Look, someone has their bid! Continue your good work with 6♥, which should ask for the trump Q. I would be concerned that 6♦ would be considered natural and I we don't want that. I think I like: 2♣ - 2♦2♠ - 3♠5♣ - 5♦5N - 7♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 6D asking for the SQ seems the logical next move. For me this diamond suit is not good enough for 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 4NT is rkc for ♠, partner shows 3 with a ♣ void, so I'll bid 6♦ asking for ♠Q. Note: I really HATE the 3♦ response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhm Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I do not know what your agreements are about 6♣. This could be be a second (better) suit as well as a void. Whatever it is, since I now want to play a grand and I have already implied ♠ support and I want to avoid a misunderstanding I would now bid 7♣. If partner has a black two-suiter with better ♣ than ♠, he will pass. If partner has a void in ♣, he should now be in a good position to choose the best strain.

mcphee Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 The 3D response is just wrong, the suit is poor and we eat far too much room. It is generally best to allow the strong hand to tell what they have first allowing you to gain more information. If partner bids over 2D, 2S you are able to raise and then start an investigation toward slam. Should they show a balanced hand via 2NT you can then introduce your D suit through your normal methods. If the bid H/C you are able to show D. I have no idea what the 2C opening hand has. When I saw the 3D bid lightning struck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
