what now?

[MrAce]

Heh, thats a 9-4 hand. I wouldn't blame anyone from passing (walking the dog) to 7♠ bid. Those extreme freak hands don't getalone with logic very often. :huh:

[han]

1S.

[mtvesuvius]

1♠ seems like a good start, we'll judge how high to go later. I'd pass this, but getting the suit in there early really is not a bad idea. This also encourages partner to show values in some way which will help our decision.

[rduran1216]

if you bid 1S auction continues x p 4H ?

[CSGibson]

1♠, and as the auction goes, 4♠, planning on competing to 6♠ if necessary, but not 7

[mikeh]

who knows how to bid freaks?

 

we are unlikely to sell out below 6♠, but we'd like to know how good a spot it is, and maybe even find the grand....but, equally, we'd like to get doubled somewhere.

 

1♠, double or even pass could work.

 

I couldn't bring myself to pass, and double isn't likely to help much. 4♠ isn't enough, 6♠ too much right now...so 1♠ it is.

 

Over 4♥, again we don't yet know what's going on, so I just bid 4♠.

 

If they double, I think I redouble.... it takes a brave opp to double and then run :)

[mtvesuvius]

I bid 4♠ now. The poor opponents seem to be in a forcing pass now, which is a GREAT thing for us. I'm bidding up to 6♠ if necessary I think, but not past that.

what now?

 

Haha I know this one. My pard bid 6♠. Turned out my ♦109x was more valuable than my ♥A :)

 

I said, if you walk it a little slower, you're going to get x'd.

[dake50]

Same way I've always bid my 9-4's -- 1S.

[MrAce]

Same way I've always bid my 9-4's -- 1S.

 

 

Dude, how many times did u get 9-4s ? :) You talk like u get 1 every month or something :D

[rduran1216]

I started with x, then bid 4S over 4H, LHO bid 5H and RHO thought before passing, so I bid 5S, then 6H by RHO 6S by me and a double, I got a useless heart lead, making 6, but what a wild hand.

[mycroft]

Sounds like the 1H I was thinking of is going to get me some number of spades rewound. Whether it's more than 6Sx (or even 6S=) I don't know.

[Cascade]

Same way I've always bid my 9-4's -- 1S.

 

Lucky you have got spades this time then.

what now?

 

If RHO opened 1S, I would pass for now and decide later what to do.

I really don't think the bidding is going to get passed out as someone has distributional values to find a bid.

Partner is never going to believe I have this hand so the best I can do for the moment is listen and see what the opponents and partner can volunteer.

1♠ and then 5♠ for me. I know partner will never be able to judge, but I can't judge either.

what now?

 

Well clearly 6♠is an odds on call to make

[ewleongusa]

Well clearly 6♠is an odds on call to make

 

Bidding 6S is the odds on call when RHO opened 1S?

[JLOGIC]

Bidding 6S is the odds on call when RHO opened 1S?

 

Eric Leong

 

RHO opened 1C.

 

Passing seems stupid, one of those juvenile, ZOMG I PASSED 1C AND THEN BID SPADES LATER, THEY'LL THINK I'M WEAK AND NEVER FIGURE IT OUT! Overcalling 1S is a much more legitimate start to slowplaying while also gathering information to make your final decision.

 

After 1S I agree with bidding 4S.
