straube Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 All white imps. My RHO starts with a pass I have QTxxx AKx xx xxx P P 1D 1N2C X 2H 2S4H ? 2C is alerted as Stayman. My X is coincidentally Stayman and is the prelude to making a game invitation in spades. Partner surprises me with 2S and RHO again with 4H. I was going to bid 4S before hearing 4H. Should I now or should I just hit 4H? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I would double. It's hard to know exactly what is going on but we are very likely to get at least 300 if 4♠ is making and it may very well be better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 4♠ - no wastage, minor finesses are on. Someone is kidding here - I hope it isn't my pard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robkat Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 With all this bidding by the opponents, they seem to have a several black singletons and a source of tricks in diamonds. I would bid 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Maybe too simplistic, but trying to make everything fit...LHO: 11HCP, 0454 Pard:15HCP, 42(43)RHO: 5HCP, 44(23)you: 9HCP, 5323 On defense I'd expect 2H, 3m; could easily be another trick in the wash.On offense I'd expect to take 2H, 1Hruff, 3m... we could probably work out ruffing finesses to make 4♠, but it's not clear. Defend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 4♠, if partner was kidding he wouldn't have bid again. As it is, I think this is a 100% obvious 4♠ call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 4♠ -- known 9 card fit. Yes they are supposed have only 8 trumps, but pard may have bid a slightly off shape NT and they have very well have a double fit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 4♠ seems like a no-brainer to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
