JLOGIC Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 My KQJx is so likely to be opposite a stiff in hand 1 which increases the chance that 5D is not safe, and hurts our chances for slam. I would just pass. Hand 2 I bid 4C, what else? I have a great hand for hearts and if partner wants to try for slam I'll be happy to hear it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 What JLOGIC says. I must be missing the point on the second, what else do you want me to bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 1. T7x KQJx KJxx xx. 1♦ - 1♥ - 2♠ - 3♦ - 3N - ? IMO 4♦ = 10, 5♦ = 9, _P = 7, 4N = 5. assuming 4♦ is more constructive than 5♦.5♦ may be safer than 3N. ♠ AKxx ♥ x ♦ AQTxx ♣ ATx and slams are still in the picture. ♠ Axxx ♥ A ♦ ATxxxx ♣ AxThese are (sub?) minimum 2♠ rebids, Harder at Match-pointed pairs when even 4♠ would be a contender. 2. W/r xx Axx AQxx ATxx. 1♥ - (3♣) - ? IMO 4♣ = 10, 3N = 9, 4♥ = 5, _P = 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 3N is awful. It will miss heart slams very often when they are available. At least pass gives us the upside of 800 against our game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Pard just plowed it to slam on the 1st. I get 4N. I don't get 4♦ (kc). I held AQxx A A98x AJTx. I actually passed the 2nd and reaped a bonanza. Pard found a reopening x on AKx KQJxxxx J xx (?!). and we got 1100. Not bragging; more curious if my action was reasonable.

Finch Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 As you can see I didn't think of pass on the second. It certainly worked well here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I agree with the waterman, but in teh second pass is a decent option (as history shows) with top tricks all around and a slowy one in clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
