Hanoi5 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Both red: ♠AK♥AQT8xxx♦Qx♣AT 1♥-Pa-1NT*-2♦??? Is 4♥ advisable here? In general, on what should 1M-1NT-4M or 1♥-1♠-4♥be bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Yu Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I could bid 4M here with an ace less, so I would first cuebid 3♦ then 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 4♥ is fine. 3♦ is possible but I would bid that also with a monster with ♥+♣ since 3♣ is nonforcing. With this hand I have a nice, descriptive bid. So why not make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 4H is fine, slam is very unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytoox Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I could bid 4M here with an ace less, so I would first cuebid 3♦ then 4♥.I think you overestimate this hand. 4H is enough, I would be happy to make it. Qx of Diamonds are really awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yu18772 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 About the general question - 1♥-1NT-4♥ and 1♥-1♠-4♥ are very different auctions. If the responder is unlimited (1♠) than jump to 4♥ shows a hand that was a little better than 4♥ opening, but not by much (lets say an A more). If the responder is limited (passed hand or 1♥-1NT-4♥) than it is the opener decision - basically saying "I dont see a slam opposite your bid" - and can have a very wide range of hands.On this hand bid 3♦ if you think slam is a real possibility opposite some average 8-9 points (or if you can imagine perfect 6 points that would make the slam cold - I can't :)) or bid 4♥ if you think that slam is not something to aspire to. I would choose 4♥http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gifYu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
