Quartic Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 [hv=pc=n&w=sa72ht3dak54cq986&e=skqj95h7d97cakt73&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=1sp2c2h3h4h4sppp]266|200[/hv] This slam was missed by everyone in a recent teams match. This was the auction at our table. Could we do any better, or did the interference use up too much space? We were playing acol, so 2♣ was not game forcing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 What does 3♥ show in your system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Tough one. Someone has to take a rosy view of their hand. Perhaps East, with a heart control, should take a move over 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Seems like 4H by opener would have worked much better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartic Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Seems like 4H by opener would have worked much better. I thought of this after the hand, but is my hand good enough to force to game here? (I was East.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well, you have 4-5 losers. Pard should cover up at least 2-3, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWO4BRIDGE Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Too bad 2C is not GF, but your hand is still strong enough for a whereagles 4H!-splinter for Clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Too bad 2C is not GF, but your hand is still strong enough for a whereagles 4H!-splinter for Clubs.Agreed..this hand looks great in support of even an ACOL 2♣ response.

Fluffy Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I thought of this after the hand, but is my hand good enough to force to game here? (I was East.) Yes, absolutelly, all you need is 2 aces (or diamond king) in front to make 5♣. Even if you don´t make it, opponents will make 4♥ then most likelly. The question is if West has enough to go to the 6 level after 4♥, I think he barely does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 It is west who knows about the double fit and two controls in diamonds. Maybe he could try 5♦ over 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'd have considered 4♦ (kickback clubs) over 2♥ fully expecting 4♥ to come in next at this vul, but it's possible 4♠ is the right spot. I suppose you have to bid 3♥ but I don't like it. Not sure what 4♣ is here, I'd like it to be this hand, but not sure it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 3H to me is a splinter in support of clubs. West should just bid blackwood over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 3H to me is a splinter in support of clubs. West should just bid blackwood over that. 3♥ is a splinter for me too. Not sure if Blackwood is best next but whatever happens west's only bad news is that there is no Grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 West needs good spades from partner to make a slam, anyway. If we are stuck with the 3H bid, then 5S by West; without a heart control, East can pass. With one, he can choose a slam. If we get to bid 4H as East, West should just launch (probably 6C). West's 4S bid was to blame in any case, so he gets the charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
