Phil Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Anyone want to play a forcing 3♥ over 2♣? I do. By the way, 3♥ strikes me as excessively timid. While 3♥ might not make, it rates to be a favorite most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 MP's. The result was an average, but is there a way to get to 6? I am surprised you reached to game after 3♥ bid here, letalone slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 3H is non-forcing. West has an obvious game force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U prd has introduced natural 5+ cards ♣suit to which u have KJx support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Instead of bidding 4♥ West could've showed fit with 4♣. wtp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 West should evaluate his hand as pretty good (A♦, AQ♣ across is enough). That being said, I really don't know how to bid it without some guesswork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Ok u can play 3♥here as it sets the trump, but why? U prd has introduced natural 5+ cards ♣suit to which u have KJx support. The common issue in mp, when u have a minor support and self sufficient major trump, it is very hard to show both of them unless u have an agreement as Phil suggested. If u dont show support u may miss slam, if u do show and u dont have slam u are playing 5 minor instead of 4 major, not big deal in imps but in mp it may hurt.

gszes Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 after N opens 1d and no more opp bidding 2c3h max 1 slow loser suit essentially setting trumps3s cue bid4c cue bid (I personally like 3n here to be low level rkc but couldnt use ithere anyway due to lack of dia control)4d cue bid4n rkc for CLUBS since it is impossible for heart hand to be missing any oftop 3 honors. 5h 5s two with club Q6c offering a choice most likely becasue the heart bidder has the one slow possible loser heart suit. If missing club A there is a real danger of aclub ruff in a heart contract.6h it might be safer to play in clubs but w/o at least QJ it is difficult to decide to play in clubs when 6h might be ice cold. with a void in heartswould pass and take chances.
