Hanoi5 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 You hold: ♠AJx♥AT9xxx♦x♣Axx Bidding goes: 1♥ 3♣ 3♥ Pa You inquire as to the nature of 3♣ and they say it's weak and natural. 4♥ Pa Pa 5♣ ??? Now what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Knowing the VUL would help. This feels like a rulings question though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dake50 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 VUL Forcing pass is on as "volunteered" game. I'm interested in 6H, so pass. .non-vul must make my best guess. Offensive shape, 6-suit got raised, only D-ruff maybe surprise in defense, 5H..Interesting what a hem-haw then 5H would suggest. Certainly no D-interest as 5D on-the-way to 5H.So S-stuff and missing H-honors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszeszycki Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 no matter the vulnerability forcing pass is ON since we voluntarily bid game. So PASS partner was under pressure after the 3c bid and could easily have "overbid" atad. The pass will allow p to X with the possible minimum and bid on if they havemore conventional values. Your P bid 3h probably while looking at a short clubso they probably do not have much in the way of HCP. Looking for a slam hereis at best belated and at worst will undermine future partnership bidding if your p bids 5h and you drive to unmakeable 6.

cherdano Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 This thread is strange to me. Why are we suddenly interested in slam? Why wouldn't we double with 3 aces, a singleton and Axx in our suit, and a bad 6-card suit?If partner just has one trick for us on defense, it's already down 3, and we haven't made 5♥ yet.
