gwnn Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 this looks much like another hand partner made a forcing pass (and he did not make a penalty double). I'm driving to slam and 5♠ is probably exclusion keycard so I will bid that. if I don't know what 5♠ is/I think partner will not understand, I can bid 5♦, showing a good suit in addition to my spade shortness.

Free Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 5♠ exclusion blacky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I would agree with 3 ♠ if this shows a strong 4 card raise with spade shortage. Now I try 5 ♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 2♠ was forcing 3♠ was a splinter 4♠ should be exclusion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 2♠ was forcing 3♠ was a splinter 4♠ should be exclusion? yes it would, but our trumps are not good enough to drive to the 5 level at first, once partner made a forcing pass forcing to slam is a small overbid, but best way to find grand.

bftboy Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'm not very experienced with excl blackwood, so I am wondering how much you have learned if P shows only one kc. Do you just bid 6♥ and hope the trumps are good enough? What would 6 ♦ show over 1 kc? Also, what is the worst hand P should hold for his forcing pass over 4♠? thx, trying to get better at these high level competitive auctions. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucky Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Why is this a forcing pass? 3♠ sets up the forcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Why is this a forcing pass? Because we splintered? And for good measure they are both passed hands, but that doesn't really matter...since we splintered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
