sty2000 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 [hv=pc=n&s=skj875ht94dcakq43&n=sahaqj52da2cjt986&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1hp1s2d3c4d]266|200[/hv]How should we continue bidding on this board? We play SAYC-like system, RKCB 0314 (if needed). 3♣ bid shows better than minimum hand (we bid minimum competitive hand via Good-Bad 2NT). Please help, which bid by South is the best to investigate slam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would probably bid 5D as south, he can hardly have a better hand than this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 South can't KC with a void in diamonds, s/he can either bid 5♦, 6♣ or 6♥ the choice between the last two might depend on whether you're playing MP's or IMP's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryallen Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 The real fear here is missing the grand when partner has the ♠A and ♥AKQ, which must be a reasonable possibility, although tempered by distribution catching your tail? The problem for me would be what partner believed 5♦ to represent, voidwood for ♣? I would bid 4NT expecting to take a chance over 5♥. Over 5 ♣/♦ I would bid 5♥, expecting partner to bid 6♥ with 2/3 of the top honours, 6♦ with the AKQ, highlighting the lack of ♣ honours. Out of interest, would you prefer the insurance of 7♣ over 7♥?

P_Marlowe Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 5D - but if you dont want to make a grand slam try bid 6C. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
