How would you bid it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 To game in my case: 1N-2♣-2♥-2♠-3♣-3♦-3♠-3N or 4♥ Partner opens a weak no trump and shows a 3424 hand with no more than 14 so I'm not bidding a slam with the S hand.

hanp Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I think we would bid: 1C - 1H (4+ spades)1S (3 spades) - 2C (relay)2D (12-14 balanced) - 3D3NT - Pass. If opener bids 3H instead then we might have a chance of reaching 6D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 1♣-1♦ (3+♣ ; nat walsh)1NT-2♠ (playing walsh ; GF 5+♦4♠)2NT-3♥ (nothing special ; 3♥)3NT?-pass (no fit no extra's ; trust partner's ♣ stopper I guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I don't like 3NT on that auction Free. Me too (hence the "?"), but what would you do? Lots of alternatives, but which one to chose? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I don't like 3NT on that auction Free. Me too (hence the "?"), but what would you do? Lots of alternatives, but which one to chose? :unsure: I think 4♣ since you can play on whatever strain partner wants to pick. 3♠ also fine. All your cards are working you've got to make an encouraging move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFA Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 1NT (12-14) - 2♣2♥ - 3♦3NT - pass. Too bad that opener has a perfecto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMorris Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 1NT (12-14) 2NT (transfer to diamonds)3C (I have less than Hxx in diamonds) 3S3NT I don't see a clear way to slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keylime Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Probably something like in C-cubed: 1♥ (4 card majors) - 2♣* (art GF)2♦* (balanced, or single suited, or 4441) - 2♥* (ask)2♠* (balanced) - 2NT* (Baron style, seeking minor fit; pard is not on 5 carder for major)3♣* (four clubs) - 3NT (pard didn't open 14-16 NT, has no canape, lacks four diamonds, and can't have what I need) Chalk it to the magic hand.

ONEferBRID Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 ♠ QJx ♥ KQ8x ♦ J7 ♣ A109x ♠ AKxx ♥ A109 ♦ KQ109x ♣ x Playing with a pick-up, we had a fortunate result, on the auction: 1C 1D1H 2S2NT 4NT5D 6DSide issue:What was 2S-jump ?If that was 4th SGF, it denies 4 cards Sp ( standard ). The correct bid is 1S.. forcing to at least 1NT. 99% of the time 1S means 4 cards Sp."The only time one uses 1S as artificial is if he wants to jump to 3C or to 3H and have that bid ( 3C or 3H ) be forcing. "" After bidding the 4th suit at the 1 level ( 1S ), a jump (next) in partner's suit is game forcing. 1C - 1D - 1H - 3H invites. 1C - 1D - 1H - 4H shows an opener. And 1C - 1D - 1H - 1S - 1NT - 3H is ( now ) forcing and shows slam interest. " 1C - 1D1H - 1S1NT( 12-14) - ?? You don't have a 3C-jump or a 3H-jump and my notes don't show it, but I would think a 3D-jump is also GF, slammish since 1C - 1D - 1H - 3D would be an invite....although I would rather have 6+ cards ♦ for a 3D-jump. It only works here w/ 5 cards because Opener has at least J-x in ♦ . Percentagewise, though, it is not a good slam. 1C - 1D 1H - 1S1NT - 3Djump4D - ( RKC )( 1 key ) - 6D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
