aguahombre Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 If she won't let me play in 3 or 4NT, I won't let her play in 5C. Bid 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Why didn't I show my ♦ cue after 4♣? I've already shown ♠ values (otherwise bid 4♣ instead of 3NT), partner will be able to make a good decision. I hope we're playing 1430 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an automatic 6♣ call! I mean you are playing MPs and 3NT is taking a bunch of tricks so you have to bid slam to compensate.

mtvesuvius Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I remember one of my partners once told me "Never play 5m at MPs, if you are going to play 5m, bid one more." ... So he opened 1m, I bid 2m, he splintered, I rebid 4m and he bid 5. I had some random unbalanced 11 or something, so I bid one more.... Two hands later LHO opened 1♥, he bid 2♣, RHO bid 4♥, passed back to my partner who bid 5♣. I had a balanced six count, so I bid one more.I was like 9 at the time, and after that I asked him if he would like to rethink his statement :) Anyway, we have a total balanced minimum, with some wasted spade values. I don't think slam will be good, but in this case there isn't many bad things that can happen to 3N. Therefore I think we're forced into bidding 6♣.

gnasher Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Even if it was matchpoints, that would be a dreadful reason for bidding on. Partner also knows it's not matchpoints, he knows much more about my hand than I do about his, and he chose to play in 5♣ rather than 4NT.

aguahombre Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 partner had a perfect hand for us ♠K♥A♦Axxx♣KJxxxxx Would not have expected less on the auction. 4C/3NT is defined in the OP as a slam try, and 5C/4N doesn't change that ---merely shows the 7th club.

pooltuna Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Oops, I instapass LOL Thought the OP said MPs for some reason. He didn't say squat which is my real complaint and probably where you got MPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 If she won't let me play in 3 or 4NT, I won't let her play in 5C. Bid 6. Fair enough. But I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
