Nilz Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 [hv=d=n&v=b&s=sk7532hd9cak98732]133|100|Scoring: MP3♥-(P)-?[/hv] Partner preempts your void as usual. Do you dig a little further, or pass and hope LHO balances?Partner's style: He'll always have a 7 card heart suit, QJTxxxx or better. Always 6-10 points (not necessarily in hearts!). Never 4 spades. Possibly a 4 card minor.New suit by you is forcing for one round. Also, if it affects your decision, partner is (shall we say) not the best declarer in the world...

pooltuna Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Another attempt at getting a unanimous poll on BBF? it beats trying to figure out what you would do if your RHO opened 3♥ :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Another attempt at getting a unanimous poll on BBF? it beats trying to figure out what you would do if your RHO opened 3♥ :) Agree with the hope of a unanimous poll. I also wouldn't find too much difficulty if RHO opens 3♥. I would bid 4♣ in anticipation that I might need to bid 4♠ next round. Won't always work out, but I've at least bid my longest and strongest suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I would improve the contract to 4♣ after the auction continues P - X - P - P - ???. But no double, no trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayin801 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 How come 6♠ wasn't an option? Partner must have AQx, QJ10xxxx, xx, x, so the bid is obvious IMO. Anything but pass is silly and if your suit requirements are what you say I would pass if they try to penalize us too, our AK of clubs might be useful and partner's AK of hearts will not be.

jdonn Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 The only way I can improve the contract is by bidding 2♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Wow 2nd unanimous poll I've ever seen over here. Congratulations! EDIT: it's no longer unanimous so you'll have to try again ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilz Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 OK, OK, I did expect the poll to be pretty one-sided.As it happens, bidding clubs would've worked out because the hands were: [hv=v=b&w=sk7532hd9cak98732&e=shkjtxxxxdxxcqjtx]266|100|Scoring: MP[/hv] If they don't lead or switch to trumps (which are 1-1), 6C makes (I think the spade Ace falls in 4 rounds, I think hearts are 4-2 or 5-1, but I can't remember for sure).Anyway, the opps will bid lots of diamonds whether you pass or bid clubs, so you won't get to play 6C or 3H.

MFA Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Calculated just for fun: Partner is a massive 33 times more likely to be 7-4 in hearts + diamonds than 7-4 in hearts + clubs. (Assuming any 4 diamonds, which doesn't hold of course since some diamond holdings would be too strong for 3♥, so it's just a very crude estimate).

Free Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Who voted for the @%^%$ six clubs?! The one who opened ♥ with 7-4, we should know better by now to just bid 6 of your second longest suit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
