Mbodell Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I want to. The triple fit and 5 ltc hand suggests we have a lot. But I'm not sure I have a good move (5♣? or 5♥?) and it is matchpoints. Partner is unlikely to have 3 card support so is probably 4=2=3=4 or the like. Why haven't the opponents bid diamonds? For slam to be good partner needs 4 of the 5 of (♠AKQ, ♥Q, ♣K). While partner could certainly have an opening hand, he could have as few as ~8. And a perfect 8 or 9 is still too little for a good small slam. So my first instinct was 5♥, but I think I pass now.

Codo Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Partner does not need to hold so good spades, but still:What did 3 ♣ and 4 ♥show? Can partner really hold enough cover cards and can the opponents stay silent with around 10 diamonds between them w/r and all honours there? Possible, but I would still pass easily.Of course partner will table Axxx,Qx,xxx,KJxx and both suits break 3-2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd71 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 What did 3 ♣ and 4 ♥show? 3♣ is 4+ ♣ invitational strength, likely denies diamond stopper unless a very shapely hand 4♥ is 2 ♥, ostensibly placing contract 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
