mtvesuvius Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 1♥ - 1♠4♣ - 4♠5♦ - 5♠Pass or more likely: 1♥ - 1♠4♣ - 4♠4N - 5♦5♥ - 6♦6♠ - Pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Agree with 1♥-1♠-4♣. East might try 4♦ next but a stiff heart and only four trumps mean 12 tricks will take some work. You need at least AKxx Axxxx AQx x and it is still not cold. So probably 4♠ is best. After that if East bids 4♠ I would definitely pass with West. If East bids 4♦ you probably reach slam which is not terrible but you'd prefer not to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I don't think I could bring myself to pass the West hand after 4♠, perhaps that's a case for 1♥-1♠-3♦ (or 1♥-1♠-2♣ if you're Ken Rexford). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 very very hard: 1h=1s4c=4d? now very very tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 What has happened to splinters? West has a maximum splinter, but I don't understand driving to the 5-level if partner sign's off in 4♠. Basically forcing to slam (with RKCB) seems really too much. East's decision seems closer, but 4♠ seems right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dellache Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 [hv=d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1hp1sp4cp4sppp]133|100[/hv] 4♣ is an underbid but I don't like alternatives (fake 3♦).4♦/4♣ would be exagerated I think : a lot of work to do (including the real hand) ! Hence 4♠.Over 4♠ we have far more chances to find a weakish hand that means danger in 5♠ than the good hand for slam. Hence West makes a statistical Pass.This is imho one of the tribute to pay to very wide range 1♥ openings if you don't have the artificial arsenal to cope with "end of the spectrum hands".

Phil Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 What has happened to splinters?

East's decision seems closer, but 4♠ seems right. Agree with this. A two-tiered splinter over 1♥ - 1♠ would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 1♥-1♠-2N-3♣-4♣-4♠ 2N=GF unbalanced3♣=relay4♣=4531/46214♠=not interested I suspect the big hand gives up now, but it's close, certainly stops in 5♠ rather than bidding 6 if it does continue.

MrAce Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 1♥ - 1♠4♣ - 4♠5♦ - 5♠Pass or more likely: 1♥ - 1♠4♣ - 4♠4N - 5♦5♥ - 6♦6♠ - Pass So basically you are accepting your own invitation ? And what if partner really have wasted ♣ hcps and signed off in 4♠, lets exchange his ♦ KJ to ♣ suit, he will bid exactly same when u aks keycards and ending up at 5 level on first example and in slam on second with 3 losers nowhere to park.

dake50 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 The other table can't stop below 6S. Need S:3-2 + DQ onside + no freak D:5-0. My luck they'll make. Opponents silent with their clubs ups the odds their shape is tame. Still hate losing a swing on this type of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
