Phil Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Good problem. Right or wrong, I am forcing this to a slam. Its matchpoints, and partner should not be needlessly donating 500 against their game, so I expect something across instead of a hand merely accepting the transfer. My first reaction was 5N, because I am a little concerned about a club ruff in 6♠. Its matchpoints and I'm not sure I'm content with 6♣, If partner is 6-4 in the blacks, 6♠ should play OK opposite something like KQxxxx xx x AKxx and this seems like a minimum. So I will try 4N. We might even get to 7 this way, although I doubt I can unilaterally bid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, of course....but we have seen what BBO posters accept the transfer on, so it is a crapshoot if pard is one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I also think I'd force to slam and try specific ♦K ask over 5♠ response to blackwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your bidding plan?[/hv] my bidding plan is to lead the ♦A EDIT: oops missed my RHO's original pass Looks like choices are 5♥, 6♦,6♠, 6NT. I will just guess that 6NT is right since it is MPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
