ArtK78 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 [hv=pc=n&n=sj6542hq9853da65c&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=1c1d1sp2sp]133|200[/hv] Matchpoints. 1) Do you agree with North's first call (promises only 4 spades)?2) Do you make another move? Note: We frequently raise on three cards in an auction like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Definitely agree with 1♠ though I wish we were playing transfers. I would pass now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcw Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I expect to go plus if I pass and everyone else does too. 1♠ seems pretty normal call to me, are you suggesting an alternative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 hmmm.. If I follow the losing trick blindly, I got 7 losers so I should shoot at 4♠(!!) now. Ok, so I have a void in what might be pard's main suit. Better invite only: 3♥. Anyway, definitely make a move yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would ask. There might be someone out there who wants to make a negative double to get both majors in on one bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_20686 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I dont think inviting is very sensible when partner is so unlikely to be able to maek a sensible evaluation. OTOH, I do want to be in game whenever partner has 4 spades. If it was imps I would just blast game probably, although I normally play that 2N is a relay in auctions like this to ask about partners hand, so I would do that if available.

pooltuna Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I thought I would ask. There might be someone out there who wants to make a negative double to get both majors in on one bid. So you are testing if there are any takers for the auction 1♣ (1♦) X (p); 2♠? [i prefer the 2♠ call show 4 with no xtras] I think you are committed to a raise here and partner will play you for hearts. If you are playing negative doubles and long suit game tries how will partner view your hand after 1♣ (1♦) 1♠ (p); 2♠ (p) 3♥? A maximum of 3 cards in ♥? A near slam try? Certainly some partnership discussion appears needed in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I prefer the neg X to show only 4H/ and 1H=5 so 1S = 4or5. But if my X show both M I double. The only time i wouldnt X holding both M is 6S+4H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
