InTime Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 [hv=pc=n&s=sq754h642dkj4cq82&w=sat986hakqj87d9ca&n=sh93dqt87532ckjt5&e=skj32ht5da6c97643&d=w&v=b&b=4&a=1h3ddp]399|300[/hv]Playing 2/1 in MP. The X by East just shows values. It does not promise 4 spades.What is the best way to continue the bidding to conclusion?Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 4♦ by opener and 4NT (KC) over 4♠. If responder happened to bid 5♣ opener would go on with 5♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onedown Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Why are we doubling with a flat 8 count? Xing shd be close to G/F, 10 HCP at least, so Pass is my 1st bid. But now that I doubled and do not necessarily have 4 spades, the only FORCING bid is 4d! as per Hanoi. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo for your contribution. I think when you next bid 4S after 4D, partner will go appropriately ballistic. Edit: it might have been more difficult if South had beat your partner to 4D. :unsure: Edited June 15, 2011 by aguahombre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I would also pass with the east hand, bid 3S with the west hand and then 4D with the east hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
