pooltuna Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I dont think the number ♥ is as important as the overall texture/strength of your hand and how you think it will mesh with partner's hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 12 cards? Even with both (x). edit: Ah, am I supposed to imagine additional hearts/spades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinidad Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Why 4♦? What is wrong with 3♦ if you want to splinter? (And if 4♦ shows a void, I don't think it is a fitting hand.) Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 4441 it's terrible. 3541 might be acceptable. So I voted for 2641. Anyway the hand is pretty lousy having a singleton in partner's opening suit and AJT in partner's short suit. But I love playing slams...

whereagles Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Seems like a good slam to me. SST of +1 means we can do with 13 WP across for slam. 4NT and bla bla... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 ♠x(x)♥QJ10x(x)♦AJ10x♣x all vul, partner opens 1♣, you bid 1♥, partner bids 4♦ splinter.I would tread cautiously with 4 hearts and maybe even 5h because ofthe singleton club. There is unlikely to be enough trumps to pulland set up clubs. The number of spades is of no great consequenceper se it is the lack of a club fit that is the problem. On top of that the dia A would serve your side much better if itwere the club or spade ace. This is especially true if p is voidin dia. with 6 hearts I would hazard a 5d cue bid and hope p knows what to do from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
