frank0 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 7♠ What's 5♦ and 4NT in this sequence mean? It could be a better choice if I know the exact meaning of these two bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I would start with 5d unless that is clearly exclusion blackwood. If p bids 6c I bid 7cover 5h/s I bid 7 of suitover 6h/s I bid 7 of suitover 5n (p is unsure what to do) I bid 7sif p bids 6n I will leave it there and hope7 doesn't make. there are times this wont work but the vast majorityof the time I would expect excellent results. Preempts work :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalldonn Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm too chicken to just guess to bid a grand. So I will guess 6♠. Even if a grand is good single-dummy, a big preempt like that means bad breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 We commit to spades and find pd with JxxAQJxKxQxxx We find a way to make him choose a major and he chooses ♥ with JxxAxxQx KQJxx This is how my story goes usually with my decisions :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_k Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I want to bid 6♦ but will start with 5NT choice of slam first so partner gets the message that my grand try is two suited rather than one suited. If partner chooses clubs over 5NT and hearts over 6♦ then I will bid 6♠ and give him a chance to get out if he has something like Jxx Axx Kx KQxxx.

Even if a grand is good single-dummy, a big preempt like that means bad breaks.Many took this path .... and made 6S+1 Partner held:♠ J T x x♥ A x♦ A J♣ K T x x x Two Responders made a Neg-DBL ( probably not a wise choice ):One Opener passed ....for a near zero score ( 4DX-2 ).The other bid 4S ... 4NT by Responder ( not the best with a ♦-void ) but ended in 7S for a top.

Zelandakh Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I think 5♦ is the obvious start - we have both majors and first round diamond control with grand interest. If partner bid 5♥ over this then we can settle for 5NT which seems like a pretty good description. If, as here, partner bids 5♠ then 6♦ seems like a clear-cut grand try missing something outside diamonds. With ♥A and ♣K, Opener has an obvious accept.

Fluffy Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 IMO 5♦ clearly sets up clubs as trumps unless you play 4NT for that. 6♦ and raise spades (but not hearts) looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
