aguahombre Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 nice "convertable values" double for the level. But partner is scrambling for the correct minor-suit strain and I think 5D is enough. If it turns out she has other intentions, she will move. It is not as if you have great offensive distribution which will take a lot of tricks with just a diamond fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Tempting for slam but i would bid 5♦ In order to make slam -You need our side to not lose 2 aces -Even if pd has an Ace (likely ♣) u need not to lose 2 immediate ♥ tricks -Even if he has ♣A and stiff ♥, u need him to have ♦Q so LHO can not promote his Qx or stiff Q on 2nd ♥ - Even if pd has xx x QJTxx Axxxx, u will be dependent to ♣ split or early decision if they shift ♠ Or maybe i just worked too much today and on a pessimist mood :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Not going to guess here. 5D. I'm entitled to expect 1 helpful card from pard, but not 2. Also, if I end up needing the spade finesse, it's prolly off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 partner has ♠Jxx ♥x ♦Qxxx ♣AJxxx (...) wow... you see through the backs of the cards? Have you considered poker? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I thought I could see through the back of the cards too! It was a short matchpoint event, so I passed 4N :lol: x xx Qxxxx AJxxx one time? Pard had xx void QJTxx JTxxxx. 4N was not a success but it wasn't a total disaster either. 6♦ cannot be made by the way - diamonds were 4-0 and the ♠K was offside.
