gnasher Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Cayne had this hand: [hv=pc=n&s=sa652h9865d42c652&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=pp3cdp3hp4cp4hp5c]133|200[/hv] Do you agree with 3♥? What should he do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeegan Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 :P I didn't see the match, and I don't know their agreements. I would have liked to have bid 4♣, but I think I am too weak, and I don't want the auction to get out of hand. Still, given his subsequent bidding, partner must have some kind of monster hand, either ♠ and ♦ (most likely, imo.) or huge ♥ support and looking for slam opposite not very much. Either way, 4♠ seems right. Partner must be prepared for this, otherwise everyone wouldn't always be calling him Houdini. Why jec bid 4♥ is a mystery to me.

gwnn Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 3♠ would have been a better idea in my opinion. We don't want to pass (x-p-3H-p-) 3S if partner rebids it. Wow, partner must have quite a bit. Too bad I can't bid spades at a low enough level now. I'm stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 3♠ looks much better, anyway, I have a big ace, partner has promised 11+ tricks, bid 5♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I also think that 3S would have been much better than 3H. 4H looks right though, I don't think that you can bid 4S at that point. Now I agree with 5S, you have an ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yes, 3♠ leads to an easier auction. Agree with Fluffy / Han on 5♠. Interesting defensive problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Interesting defensive problem. looking at the hand seems to me the contract is totally hopeless, 5 diamonds, 4 hearts, 2 spades, can't make 12. BTW it goes to show that playing with Sementa is much funnier than playing against the other JEC partners I had to play with wank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 At the time I thought the play was more interesting than it actually was. Dummy was K94 AKJ74 AK963 -, and Han and I were 4126-2344. This was the ending after JEC had drawn two trumps, ruffed the diamonds good, and ruffed three clubs in dummy: [hv=pc=n&s=sa652hdc&w=st87hdca&n=sk94hd9c&e=sqjhqdc8]399|300[/hv]When he led dummy's diamond winner, Han just ruffed and cashed our club. However, I thought Han had shown me an odd number of clubs, making South 3424. That would make the ending something like:[hv=pc=n&s=saj5hdc8&w=st87hdca&n=sk94hd9c&e=sq62hqdc]399|300[/hv]In which case JEC had played it rather well, but might now be about to go down by playing for me to be squeezed.
