jh51 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 [hv=pc=n&s=sa7ha74djt3cakq96&n=sk982hqdaq8742cj5]133|200|West is dealer, vul none[/hv] My partner and I clearly misbid this hand as we played in 3NT by S and made 6. (We should have made 7, as the diamond finess is working. Partner got confused on how to handle diamonds after they split 4-0. We even got a gift at trick 1 when the 4♣ was led and East follows with the 3.) I won't bother to discuss the misbidding, except that I may have started it by opening the North hand. BTW 2/1 GF. How would you suggest bidding this - opponents are silent. I think the best contract is 6D. NT is vulnerable after a heart lead if the K♦ is wrong.

kenrexford Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Any auction where Opener ever describes having at least 5 diamonds should result in a slam being bid. It is hard to imagine an auction where that doesn't occur. There are many variations, but all roads seem to lead to Rome, actual results notwithstanding.

TWO4BRIDGE Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 In the auction:1D - 2C! ( 2/1 GF ),Opener's 1st obligation is to rebid a 5+ card Diam suit.You still have the entire 2-level to find a 4-4 Major fit if one exists.Now Responder, with no 4 card major, and no 2 quick losers in a side suit, should justjump to 4D! ( Minorwood ):1D - 2C!2D - 4D! and get to 6D as in Mike's auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolvyrj Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Open 1D - 2C 2D - 3D if thats forcing in u sys or 3H( jump aka cue as ♦trumps) 3S - 4C both cues 4H - 4Nt 4H cue and now shortness(bid S first) 4Nt RKCB 5D - 6D 5D 1/5 aces 6D final contract( its pretty obvious which high cards prd have) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh51 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I am happy to see that everyone chose to open 1♦ as I did. I considered passing at the time because of the possibly worthless Q♥ and J♣, but I liked my shape and decent suit. What actually happened was that partner bid 3NT, which was a gross underbid by our methods as it showed only 13-15 HCP. I had a clear pass if that was partner's hand.

Free Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 1♦ - 2♣2♦ - 3♦...Seems like a normal start, where 2♦ shows 5+♦ and 3♦ is forcing. The rest is easy and depends on your slam bidding methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
