JLOGIC Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 South should bid 2D, he has 7 of them! North should bid 3D, he doesnt have a strong hand with long clubs, he has a minor 2 suiter with a heart void! South should bid over 3N I think.

kgr Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 South should bid 2D, he has 7 of them!Is it very wrong to DBL iso bidding 2♦ and bid ♦'s later (...ok, I didn't)? We play Walsh, but that probably doesn't matter here.North should bid 3D, he doesnt have a strong hand with long clubs, he has a minor 2 suiter with a heart void!Is 3NT showing long clubs? What should North bid with a balanced 19 pts?South should bid over 3N I think.Probably more clear at IMP's? I was South and thought that 4♦ could give extra info to opps in the defense. After 3NT by North I also thought that he had too many pts in ♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Yes, and 2N. Bidding your 7 card suit is very important when they bid your void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooltuna Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Q1) I have no problem with south's -X although it is wierd but certainly would work out if pard's hand was♠KQJx ♥KQJx v ♣AKxxx. Q2) With the actual hand north should bid 3♦ which must be forcing as partner could -X to play ♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 They played a grand slam in game even if north's KQJx of spades was xxxx. I think that's enough reasoning to say both were at fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdanno Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 It's hard to find 11-card fits in a minor over a 1S preempt! (If that stops you from bidding your 7-card suit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszeszycki Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Dealer: North Vul: ???? Scoring: MP ♠ KQJx ♥ ♦ KQJx ♣ AKxxx ♠ ♥ Axxx ♦ ATxxxxx ♣ xx kind of Standard American; 55421♣-(1♠)-DBL-(2♠)3NTthe neg x is not a bad start the real problem is that south never appreciates how strong N has to be to bid 3n. S does not promise much with the neg X and has a whole kit and kaboodle of potential. How about expressing slam interest now with 4d The neg x may have been necessary to discover a 44 heart fit but now it will perform an extra service because we have limited the power of our hand by not bidding 2d N will become aware of how distributional we must be to be interested in slam (not to mention slam interest with a suit missing the KQJ). While it is difficult to reach a grand here N should not have too many problems arriving in 6d.In fact it would hardly be horrid for N to just bid 6d outright though that would eliminate any chance to find 7 in a practiced partnership (some would say that makes it horrid). a plausible bidding sequence after 4d 4h cue bid aggreeing to slam search4s cue bid5c cue bid5d cant keep due bidding with lousy trumps suit5h shows 1st round control5s shows 1st round control7d (surely S did not start a slam search with 7 dia to the J) 7d should be at worst 5050 if S is 0463 (ruffing finesse against the spade A.)

bucky Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Is 3NT showing long clubs? What should North bid with a balanced 19 pts? 2NT by North should show 18-19, balanced or semi-balanced. (yes, with only 13-14 and spade stopper you PASS!)
