BunnyGo Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 This was board 11 in the 2nd BBF Pairs event. I had the following hand, w/w in 4th seat: [hv=pc=n&e=sahdat87432cakqj5&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=pp2h]133|200[/hv] What's your plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike777 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 so i guess no more posts here, may we see the hands please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Wow. I would bid 4NT for the minors over 2♥, and I would be sorely tempted to raise if partner bid 5 of either minor. I do not see how you can conduct an intelligent auction on this hand by doubling (risking playing in 2♥x or risking further preemption by the opps) or by bidding 3♦(???). I don't know if my 4NT call is going to lead to success, but at least I can get 10 or 11 of my 12 cards off my chest in one call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if my 4NT call is going to lead to success, but at least I can get 10 or 11 of my 12 cards off my chest in one call. This is indeed what I was thinking too. My thoughts in raising 5♣ to 6 were that: 1) If partner has a stiff diamond...slam is a decent shot. 2) If partner has 2 small diamonds (let alone Kx)...slam is at worst about 50-50 3) If partner has any 3 diamonds but bid clubs anyways...slam is great! Here's the whole hand. It made 7 on the 2-2-2 diamond split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 As I expected if we bid 3d we get another bid later. we can always bid 6c over 4h by opp. ---- btw off topic how the heck do you create a link with words as you did in your post? can you PM me please sometime....thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 My partner bid 6♦ on this hand, which I duly raised to 7♦ with ♦K9, perhaps with more confidence than was warranted. ;) But it got us a nice top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 6 ♦ is a nice idea. Needs a yrb. with diamonds 2-2-2 around the table or with partner holding 3 diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 OK, you start. ;) 4♥ = BIG hand with both minors. 4N = Good hand with both minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
