pooltuna Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 preempts work! I really hate bidding to a level where I have to finesse the preemptor for an offsuit(not his suit) card for the contract to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 What is wrong with being in 4♠? yeah This auction is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 No blame, even if N had A10xxx, x, Kxx, Axxx still no blame really for a very good slam missed, preempts work sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I would definitely play leaping michaels over this opening. No real blame on this hand given the methods though, and it's not clear to me that the ♦K is significantly more than 50-50 to be onside anyway.

rogerclee Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I wouldn't bid 4C even if that was an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtvesuvius Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Am I missing something? 4♠ seems fine, no blame, unless you want to blame RHO for having the ♦K or LHO for not leading a heart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Not good enough for 4♣ in my book (although I play it as forcing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hi, #1 not playing Leaping Michaels - you still have the option to bid 3H, simple Michaels, Leaping Michalels has the adv. that p knowes, we have a double fit, so he knowes only we have likely double fit. #2 Slam is certainly ok, but given the bidding, the finesse may or may not be 50%, so staying out of the slame is not the end of this world. #3 yes, we play Leaping Michaels (nonforcing), assuming 2H shwoes hearts+?, and we would bid it. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yes I play 4♣ as LM here but I don't do it on yarboroughs. No blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Did the weak 2H have D:K? Or opening lead H, then another heart -- not seeing the ruff-sluff?D:AK now WANT to get to 6S.My immediate Q (=3H) promises monster or good controls oM.Try DAPO (Chiel Vorheiss sp?) where 3D>2H = 15+/- S+C (2-suiter not bid suit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Slam isn't bad in theory. If opps don't start hearts, it makes. If they do, maybe the diamond finesse is on. In practice if LHO leads, say, ♥J, it's next to hopeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
