inquiry Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 [hv=d=s&v=b&n=sakj75h72dkq98c97&s=sq9hq8daj75ckqt32]133|200|Scoring: MPSubmitted by: Hanoi5 Bidding script: EW don't bid Reaching a game with a Moysian fit [sic] when it is right is oneof the traits of good bidding pairs. The lack of a stopper in the unbid Major for 3NT and of sufficient strength for the level of 5 should be the hints the pairs need to reach the ‘right’ spot. 4S, 10; 3S, 7; 3D, 6; 4D, 5; 5D, 3; 3C, 2; 3NT/4C, 1."

hrothgar Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 First and foremost, a 5-2 fit is not a Moysian... I liked the auction that Free and I had Free opened 1S with the South hand showing an unbalanced hand with 4+ Diamonds and (typically) denying a 4 card major. I bid 2♦, showing 5+ Spades. Free rebid 2♠ promising xxx or Hx in Spades. At this point in time, I bid 3♦ showing concentrated values in the pointy suits and we quickly landed in 4♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I thought Moysian referred to 7-card fits. Point taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgoodwinsr Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I thought our sequence was just right: 1D (potential canape) - 1S; 2C (canape realized) - 3D (which we play as forcing, and which made things easy); 3H (grope) - 3S (no help in hearts, but good spades); 4S.

jdonn Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I picked a bad time to open 1NT. It must be wrong in a bidding contest, not sure what I was thinking. We ended in 4NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgoodwinsr Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I find the several comments from jdonn and JLOGIC about how to, and how not to, bid in a bidding contest to be very interesting. We thought the idea was to bid as we would in real life, but I can see the other point of view. Maybe next year we'll try a different strategy. And incidentally, the postmortems are as much fun as the contest itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 heh the hand I operated on was opening 3C on board 1 and if I had opened 4C we would easily find 7, so I think bidding normal is a good idea! Obviously jdonn has to operate much more since he's playing with gib, in fact hes bidding kind of normal for him+gib lol. This hand our auction was: 1C 1S1N 2D3D 3S4C 4D4S I think. My third bid I could bid 3H maybe which should be a punt, but from my hand I could tell a 5-2 spade fit would be right even opposite one heart stopper most of the time so I just bid 3S.

hanp Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 We didn't do any serious bidding contest bidding, except that you want to go slower and keep alternative contracts in mind. For example if it goes 1D - 1S - 2S and in real life you would just bid 4S, I would not often do that in a bidding contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Yeah hard to say how I would bid with gib in real life so I just try to win. Plus if I wasn't trying to win I would probably not still be in the contest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackojack Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Partner opened 1NT, then 1NT 2♥2♠ 3♦4♣ 4♦4♠ passnot sure we really knew what we were doing with the last 3 bids. Except that neither of us cued hearts so 4♠ had to be a stopping point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I was actually going to go with Hanoi's scores here, but the field did find 4♠ without much problem, so I lowered the score for that. I upped 5♦ and 3NT a point based on the results of the biddin in the contest. 4SS wackojack/flycycle4SS Hrothgar/Free4SS bluecalm/redds4SN TimG/TgoodwinSr4SN hanp/jlall4SN cherdano/rogerclee4SN bid_em_up/TylerE4SN olegru/driver7334SN awn/elianna5DS sohcahtoa/east4evil5DS ant590/cryzeejim5DN gnasher/catch225DS Karlson/threenobob3NS MBodell/Javabean3NS peachy/Ig624NS jdonn/gib 4S = 93N = 25D = 44N = 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
