mfa1010 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Voidwood 6♣, then 7♥ over 2KC. No guarantees for success, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Voidwood 6♣, then 7♥ over 2KC. No guarantees for success, but still. If you're going this route, why not a grand slam force 5N? I'm assuming that 5♣ then 5N would be choice of slams... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Direct 5NT, choice of slams and giving up on the grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we have established a trump suit before bidding 5N and we are already at the 5-level (so 4N is gone) - then it would be RKC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I settle for 6♥ as partner could have just 4♥ for his call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Another question: think the bidding starts: 1♦-1♥1♠-1NT do you think 3♥ show something like our hand more or less? would you bid the hand that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I think so. Bidding that way comes to mind, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 H are often 4-1 after a 3C opening, so a direct 5Nt giving up on 7 seems reasonable. Its not easy finding an intelligent way to inv to 7 while finding the right strain. Seqeunce that come to mind are 5C--5H--5Nt PAS (passing 6)5C--5D--5S has to be a try for 7, partner should bid 5Nt if is H are not great with Qxx in D or 4D. 5C--5S--(near impossible) easy 5Nt PAS followed by raise to 7. 5C--6H-- (very unlikely) but ive got an easy 7H So its relatively safe to try for 7 by bidding 5C. Note that PAS always suggest 3H/5or 6D since partner with both M will bid 4C and with a huge S/D i would bid different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
