Cyberyeti Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 for starters 3c is gf so what the heck is 4h in any event this looks like a 6nt hand over 4h pard has denied super accept/Would you ever bid 3♥ with say AKJx, QJ, xxxx, Axx ? if not, 4♥ should be a bad hand in context with 3♥ PFA. This looks like a pull to 6N situation, particularly if I trust my opponent not to double on ♠AK. I'd expect LHO to be ruffing the club lead or have 5 hearts or ♥J109x and an A.

I'd expect LHO to be ruffing the club lead or have 5 hearts or ♥J109x and an A.I agree and you should be in 6NT anyway. You've got enough HCPs to make the slam easily and since you're off an ace it's not like you're going to be in 6♥+7 to beat 6NT. I'm assuming it's matchpoints. Edit: Anyway, Cyberyeti, he can't have AK of spades because your partner has at least 15 HCP, you have 19, and the estimated 7 by opponent (AK) = 41. There aren't that many points in the deck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 you could make it tough on the opening leader by just bidding 6NT at your first turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 This is an easy 6N call on the prior round. We can't be off the ♠AK unless partner upgraded, and its not clear that occurred. However, when our RHO doubles we now have an interesting proposition with +1210. Is my RHO good where I can expect a club getting ruffed? Or did they just make some random double with the ♠A. Maybe they are being sharp with ♣Axxxxx knowing partner can lead their club and get a ruff. Anyway, I'm bidding 6N. This usually gets doubled out of spite, and I expect a very good score for this. Maybe I'll send it back and teach the person a lesson! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VM1973 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 you could make it tough on the opening leader by just bidding 6NT at your first turn.You could also find your partner holding:♠AJ10♥QJxx♦Ax♣Axxx Two people playing 7C+7You playing 6NT+6 cuz you guessed the finesse wrong, andEveryone else in 6H+7. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Partners hand was K953, QT3, AQ83, A9 The double saved us, I should have bid 6N without it. The doublers hand was AJT6, J9642, x, xxx, another hand to add to my list of reasons why not todouble a slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
