Would you find the 6♠ in EW? Or would you find it and go down? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I might find it - depends on how frisky West was feeling ;)Bidding would be:1NT(10-13)-2NT(minors)-3H(xfer)-P(whew!)-3S-P-4S(slam interest, otherwise Texas)-P-now what did I have for breakfast? As to the play, it's late here, but it looks like it makes with two diamond ruffs after the CK lead. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I fairly sure that I will not be able to bid slam, and i am certain that i would not make it if i bid it (unless south leads a heart). For me to bid slam, east has to take two aggressive bids (3S, and 4H below), and opener has to not give up in 4S over 4H. I really think the bidding will stop at 4S, but here is my auction that reachs slam..... As west I will open, and since I open a club, I asume north passes. 1S-(Pass)-1S-(Pass)1N-(Pass)-2D-(Pass) 2S-(Pass)-3S-(Pass)4D-(Pass)-4H-(Pass)4N-(Pass)-5D-(Pass)5H-(Pass)-6S-(all pass) Notes:2D = xyz, 100% game force2S = three card suport3S = slam try4D = use serious 3NT desipite 1NT response, so 4D shows weak 1NT rebid, and first or second round control of diamonds, no first or 2nd round club control4H = LTTC, promises club control, and still slam interest despite openers 4D (weak) cue-bid. 4NT = RKCB5D = 3 keycards5H = trump queen?6S = enough. I can not make this slam playing against me, because i will not make a defensive mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 i can't see coming close to bidding a slam, against decent ops... like peter, i'd open 1nt and i have no double north would bid something... if he doesn't, maybe 1nt : 2d3c : 3d3nt : 4c4s : 4nt5c : 5d6c : 6s west shows 5 controls in a 3325 hand, spiral scan finds which controls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junyi_zhu Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 [hv=d=w&v=n&n=shj82dqj962ckqj87&w=sat4ha73dk8ct9642&e=skq8762hq5da753ca&s=sj953hkt964dt4c53]399|300|Scoring: BAM[/hv] How would the bidding go when you play against yourself? Would you find the 6♠ in EW? Or would you find it and go down? :lol: I won't bid it playing with myself.1C 1S1N 2D(gameforcing checkback)2S 3D(natural)3H(cue) 4C(nonserious cuebid)4D(if I feel aggressive) 4H(last train)4S(I should sign off here since I have stretched a little bit) The difference between passing and bidding on is only about one card, spade jack. trump jack is often the key to distinguish a good slam and a bad one. When you hold it, you usually feel more secure, which is especially true for 8 card trump fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 My Little piece: 1♣-(1♦)-1♠-(p)1NT-(2♣)-2♦-(p)2♠-(p)-4♣-(p)4♦-(p)-4♠-(p)(p)-(p) 420 is enough to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
