Bbradley62 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 It appears we're likely to have 5D, 5H, ♠A and ♣A, and partner probably has one black K, but partner is in charge of this auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Isn't this the same hand you sent a PM out on? If you were going to bid grand now, you should have done it the round before. Now even if you bid and make 7, partner may believe you have trust issues. If grand fails, partner is really not going to be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Partner may have been trying to decide between 7♥ and 7nt. Partner is captain for sure and that suggests passing. But what can partner have to force to the 5 level opposite a 15-17 nt with 3 hearts? I'm assuming 2♦ is game forcing nmf, which maybe it isn't, but surely partner can investigate slam some other way. If we assume partner doesn't have any K and only has 5 hearts then what is the hand he could have where he'd jump to 4nt? Would something like: AxxxKQxxxAxxx jump to 4nt? 13 opposite 15 in an 8 card fit might not be safe at the 5 level, especially if there are wasted club values. If you J it up you get: AJxxKQJxxAJxJ And now you have 16 which would probably be willing to try 4nt and would leave you in grand which would be on a ♠ finesse or a ♣ finnese or a ♣+♠ squeeze (only get to choose one). But if partner has a 6-th heart, or partner has either black K (probably spades on the auction) then we are home free. And partner doesn't know about our diamond source of tricks. So I think I'd bid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Partner's jump to 4NT will surelly have more than 2 aces and ♥KQ, at least a 6th heart. So I bid 7♥, after all it is very unlikelly that an opponent will underlead ♣K on this sequence, and partner will have at elast 2 chances to make this (diamonds running or club finese).
