jules101 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 [hv=pc=n&n=sat76hdakjt9652ca&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1cd1hp2h]133|200[/hv] X then 3♦ should show a very good hand, 8+ tricks, but could be passed in partner has a bust. So what do you fancy for your 2nd bid? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 My hindsight being 20/20 (because that is where my head usually is), I kinda wish I had just bullied 5D the first time before they discovered their (perhaps double) fit in the rounded suits. Now, I try 5D, hoping to survive. The daydream that the auction might go: (1C)X (P) 2S(P) back to me is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I'd bid 5♦. Slam is now unlikely, but I'm not going to try to play this hand in a partscore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I will bid 5D also. If sitting under the opener I would bid 6. Any secondary S honours may well be in dummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farrnbach Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 5D, as if I bid 3D, it will probably go 3H - p - 4h or p p 3Hand I'll have the same issue again 5D x -1/-2 is still good against 4h = 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 5D seems canonical. Even if pard has some spades, say Jxxxx, we're probably good for 11 tricks in diamonds. Trouble is actually if opps bid 5H... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules101 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 The full deal [hv=pc=n&s=sk2hqt864d743cq65&w=sq93haj93dckj9832&n=sat76hdakjt9652ca&e=sj854hk752dq8ct74&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1cd1hp2h3h(stopper%20pard%3F)p3n4h5dppp]399|300[/hv] I thought I was too strong for an immediate 5♦, but played in a miserable 5♦+2 anyway. :( Slam is a bit lucky tho isn't it?

aguahombre Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I don't know if you could get to slam or not. What I do know is that you weren't getting any help from yout catatonic partner, and were left to your own resources. Over 1H, he had an easy double to show hearts and some values ---standard and mandatory as a psych protector, not really penalty because if there was a psych and the double was normal, they won't play in hearts; informative.

Fluffy Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'd bid 3♥ I can't give up on 3NT wich can easilly be our best spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 If partner would just have bid 2H like a warmblooded animal should, we would have known that he has some HCP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
