Free Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 vs good opps. [hv=pc=n&s=sjhaq82dj4ckqjt98&d=s&v=n&b=15&a=2c(11-15HCP%2C%206+%21c)2h3h(GF%2C%205+%21s)p3n(no%20fit%2C%20suggestion%20to%20play)4dp(forcing)pdp4s(SI%20with%20good%20%21s)p5c(no%20real%20agreement)5dp(forcing)pdp5sp?]133|200[/hv]After the first forcing pass, I didn't have much interest in playing a ♠ contract and I was happy to defend. Partner however showed a SI with a good ♠ suit. I had a good hand, I had a ♠ honour, so I decided to bid on. Not sure what my partner is looking for and suggesting an alternative trump suit I just bid my good ♣s. Do you agree with this? Now LHO bid 5♦ (having a laugh) and partner made another forcing pass! Since I didn't have a ♦ control it looked to me like slam was far away, so I doubled again. Do you agree? Now partner bid 5♠, again showing slam interest. What is he showing and what is his problem (if he has any)? What would you do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayin801 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Agree with your bidding thus far, though sometimes partner has a spade single suiter with short clubs and we don't have a way to use our clubs if we play in spades and a heart is led. This is maybe unlikely based on the bidding though? If we assume partner has his bid, then 5NT as pick-a-slam comes to mind (surely this can't be some sort of grand try given we limited our hand with our opening and tried to sign off or penalize them 3 times) Clearly partner has Qxxxxxxx in spades and out though :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
