Mbodell Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 All white at Swiss teams, playing 2/1 with a weak nt with a good partner but in an unpracticed and unfamiliar partnership you have the following: [hv=pc=n&s=sa5hajdajt9754ckq&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=1dp1hp2np6cp]133|200[/hv] Your call? And what is partner's hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 agree with Wayne, got 2 more keycards than expected and only 1 of them will be useless so must raise, I´d try 6♠ pick a grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_20686 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Suspect partner has longer clubs:- xx KQxx x AJxxxx or something Am worried about a diamond loser but hoping not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Pard has some 55 or 65. That 2NT was a ridiculous bid, caused by system insufficiencies, which precipitated this follow-up. Anyway, now 6D. Who knows, it might make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statto Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 You need a lot of tens. B-) P must have something for their 6♣ bid and they don't have many aces. True, a 5-1 ♥ break is probably more likely than an opening ruff and if P doesn't have ♥10 we may be able to ruff one to make sure they're good, but it may put strain on the ♣s. The other thing is the few extra IMPs for 7NT vs 7♣. By mentioning that, I'm accepting that 7♣ may be safer after all ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbodell Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Partner's actual hand on this was: xKQxxxAJT9xxx so 7nt is cold. Our team mates on these hands continued 6♦ over 6♣, which was corrected to 6♥ which they played on their 4-2 fit. Hearts were 4-3 and clubs not 4-0 so they made all 13 tricks. This won 2 imps opposite our opponents who bid: 2nt - 3♣(puppet)3nt - 4♣(key card gerber)4♥ (3 As) - 5♣ (count of kings)5♥ (1 K) - 6♣ and also made 13 tricks.
