neilkaz Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Yes for X and yes for carrying onto game. We only have to make 40% of them vulnerable to show a profit so I think that I can take the risk that PD has a couple of useful cards. EDIT: my bad for the 40% since I thought this was IMPs, but I still raise at MP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Yes for X and yes for carrying onto game. I'm going to game via a 4♠ cuebid. Unlikely we can bid slam but it could make opposite the K♦ and 6 petunia clubs so I'll give pard a chance in case they have a bit more than that.

Fluffy Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 perfect double, I raise to 5 also, but could go for a number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascade Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 So you got to game with 24 hcp and an eight card fit and the trumps broke 5=0 - bad luck. I wouldn't worry too much more about this one. Game seems to need little more than the trumps breaking then you can count five club tricks (with a ruff), four diamond tricks (even if the finesse loses) and two top hearts. 5♣ is a normal middle of the road bid.

Cthulhu D Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 If you don't raise on this hand, what are you going to raise on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Yeh, I would bid 5C, also. But I am confused by the post where someone mentions 40% games and vulnerability at matchpoints; and the post which points out the opps can make 420 while we are going for 500.

I should have spelled it out....expect some to play in 3sx or 4sx making......minus 500 maybe avg or better. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West could choose to open 4S at this position and colors. It certainly looks more like a 4S shot than the hand on this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
