GNT hand 2

"non-forcing constructive"

 

I think this hand is too strong for a "non-forcing" constructive 2, so would have to start with 2 planning 3 over pd's expected 3.

After they bid 4 : I agree with Justin and would double , since I dont have special shape , have only a 5 card suit , and I am short in pd's suit.

Imps. Agree with 2H? What now?

 

 

I dont know sigh would we bid 2h with say

xxx QJTxxx QJx x?? I would, this makes it

very difficult for a forcing pass situation

to apply to the weak hand. I think pass over

4s merely says I'm min and cant do anything.

 

and why did p choose 2c vs X? do they have a

flaw and/or reallyyyy good clubs? Was p hand

not strong enough to x then clubs???

 

p (under the gun) bid 4h (so their flaw was not

short heart) how good does p have to be to bid

4h when their p could bid 2h with my proposed

minimum hand???

 

This hand is just too strong for a 2h bid I think

starting with 2s is better. However we survived

our 2h bid and now have to decide what to do over

4s. Given how much better our hand is than min it

seems impossible for 4h to go down and the only

question is x for penalty or explore for slam.

 

It may no longer be possible for p to envision us

having such a good hand. This makes slam exploration

iffy at best. I feel it is iffy to x the opps in

4s when they might have 10 spades. If they have 10 p

is void and we might miss a really good grand.

 

for ex: void Kxxx Kx AKxxxxx

 

IMO we should start with

 

5d

 

which will show slam interest and may help on defense

if opps keep on with spades.

If you double, partner bids 5. Do you bid again?

 

I think I would raise if partner bid 5h over my double. I mean he is basically guaranteed a spade void and 4 trumps to pull the double. I would just hope for a few spade ruffs and the kd, or the club ace etc. Really easy to see slam being cold.

Well, phil, seems you win given the actual hand :) And yea if you can trust partner to only pull the double if he has great shape, then why not raise to 6.

 

I'd X, then pass 5H because I couldn't trust my partner that much (he would pass on the hand given, and only pull if he was afraid of 4SX making, e.g. he'd overcalled light).
