mgoetze Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 In a recent team match, kfay had the following hand: [hv=pc=n&nn=kfay&n=sa98752ht953d2c83&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=1hp?]133|200[/hv]1NT is semi-forcing, 2NT is INV+ with 4 hearts so 3♥ is preemptive. I'll let you guess what he bid before revealing the hand and the completely different auction at the other table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I had an unlikely push in an event recently. I opened a weak no trump with a 2533 12 count, played there opposite partner's 2452 8 count and they cashed a lot of black tricks for -2. This proved to be flat with 5♥ after the making 4♠ was bid at the other table. On this hand probably 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWO4BRIDGE Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 1H - 2S! = Zel mini- or in-between splinter ( 2NT! next by Opener = relay; "asks" ) 2NT! - 3D = mini-splinter in ♦ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Phil's alert is strange to me. The pass denies a diamond control? You are not even in a gameforcing auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Phil's alert is strange to me. The pass denies a diamond control? You are not even in a gameforcing auction. What does not being in a gameforcing auction have to do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
