JLOGIC Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 4S, you need very little for game (like the DK). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Given partner is a passed hand - 4S, if facing a p, which had not yet the opportunity to speak,..., still 4S, but I would play with idea to investigate higher ranking contracts. Not a good idea, but I would play with the idea. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Looks like a textbook 4♠ call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Can't imagine bidding anything other than 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 4♠ WTP? And hopefully this forces LHO to make the "last guess". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flametree Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Ok, seems unanimous. I was worried a 4S bid would make partner think I was stronger than this and try for slam... Unfortunately my timid 3S bid encouraged LHO to compete, and he bid on to 5H for a good result for them. (5S would have made in reality though not double dummy - RHO could get a diamond ruff if LHO led the ace and another). I suspect an initial 4S bid would have shut LHO out. If I were stronger (say KJTx in diamonds, Ax in clubs), would you use Exclusion Key Card to look for slam, or is there some other way?

Yu18772 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 With AKQxxxx,v,KJTx,Ax I would dbl 3H and then bid spades (also at 5 level). Exclusion is when you agreed a trump suit.http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
