whereagles Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 If that's a robot across I guess I'd just bid 5♦. But then again, I'm not used to play robots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 5NT: let partner choose a slam. If he bids 6♦ I'll be tempted to bid 7. I suppose partner should have all the HCP's outside clubs but I don't want to risk it in the other suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VM1973 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I'll bid 7♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 If it's a human across, I'll try 6 then. Diamonds, ofc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 5♥. I want to go plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 with a good partner I'd bid 7♣ pick a grand, but since this guy might just be bidding hearts because he has a lot of them and nothing else lets bid just 6♥. If partner knows what 5NT means then I'd use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO 6♦ = 10, 5N = 9, 6♣ = 8, 6♥ = 7, 7♦ = 6, 7♥ = 5.A danger in 6♥ is that defenders lead ♣s and partner's ♥ aren't solid. For example ♠ Kxx ♥ QJxxxx ♦ KJ ♣ Kx [/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 We can easily have 6♦, 6♥ or 6♠. I'm not going to decide which is best without knowing partner's hand, I'll just show my hand with 5NT and let partner decide with more information. We might miss grand, but we may as well stay out of a poor grand. There's simply not enough space to investigate, but if partner bids 6♦ I'll give him grand. Otherwise I'll pass.

rhm Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 With a strong and experienced tournament player 5NT followed by 7♦. With anybody else a direct 7♦. Partner has bid red versus white with no ace outside clubs. How likely is it that he does not have the red kings with the little extra needed to make the grand and if that's the case that a required finesse will loose? I can not afford to throw 750 points away for such an unlikely occurrence.5NT followed by 7♦ would tell an expert that my ♦ are not solid and I can stand a correction to 7♥ should he be short in ♦. For any grand to have a chance partner will have to assume that I hold the ♥ace, in fact all the aces outside of ♣. Rainer Herrmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
