chasetb Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 [hv=pc=n&e=saqj9862h6dk3caq7&d=w&v=b&b=4&a=1d3h]133|200[/hv]Final hand of a home game. Partner is an up-and-coming Junior, and you and him seem to be on the same wavelength. The pre-empts by North are very sound, so expect 7 or even 8. What would you bid? If it makes any difference, partner is playing "in luck", and a small slam would put him in 2nd behind you, not that it means anything to him. If you pass: Partner will bid 5♦ after South bids 4♥ If you bid 3♠, 4♦, or 4♥: South will bid 4♥ (or X 4♥) and partner will bid 5♦. You have no agreement on Pass and/or XX If you bid 4♠, 4NT, or 5♦: Partner bids 5♦ or passes 5♦ after a little thought For other bids: Partner will bid 6♦ if possible, and 7♦ over 6♥ by you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 3S, but can't continue; I have UI that opener will make the same rebid whether I bid 3S, 4D, or 4H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayin801 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Another vote for this Aaaaaaaand +1 (I think anything but 3♠ is crazy btw, so long as it's forcing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 3S. Over 5D I would bid 5NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Making a non-forcing bid below game (4♦) or below slam is not bridge. Raising diamonds is not bridge. The only suggested non-3S bid for which I have mild sympathy is 4NT if that's RKCB. Over 3S (4H) 5D I agree with Han. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Are the 5N bidders intending it as a grand slam try without first round control in hearts, or as choice of slams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 completly misread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 3S-- followed by 6C with S and clubs or S+D just looking for the best 6, I would bid 5Nt PAS so 6 clubs is looking for 7. With 2A i expect him to bid 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Aaaaaaaand +1 (I think anything but 3♠ is crazy btw, so long as it's forcing) Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Are the 5N bidders intending it as a grand slam try without first round control in hearts, or as choice of slams? I would intend it as choice of slams, because I'll bid 3♠ and have it coming back to me in 5♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 3♠ followed by 5NT would also be choice of slams for me. COS is much more frequent than GST imo, so I prefer to use it for that purpose whenever the fit isn't clear and we're at high level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 3S is the only sensible bid and given my dear partner bid I will raise them a level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
