frank0 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 On BBO, partner and opp are good players. Opps are regular pair and partner and I do not have detail agreement on balancing auction beyond common sense. [hv=pc=n&e=sjt3ha52da965c932&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1cppd2c2d3c4sp]133|200[/hv]What's next bid? How much slam potential does this hand has? If 5♦/5♥ shows 1st round control and 5♠ asks for ♣ control what's your choice(Of course you can choose neither of them)? If you don't agree the meaning I assign on 5♦/♥/♠, what do you think they should be? If you agree, then how do you bid with ♠JTx ♥Kxx ♦KQxx ♣xxx under the same auction? Does this 4♠ shows less or about equal strength than [hv=d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1cppdp1d2c4s]133|100[/hv]? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yu18772 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 There is a great difference between the first and the second sequence. In the first 4♠ is a jump bid, it shows a big hand with self sufficient spade, this hand would usually bid 3♠ on the second sequence (absolutely forcing). Also you are a good hand for 2♦ freebid, and an absolute possible maximum or over the top for 1♦ in the second auction, so these are not the same, partner is bidding opposite different strength. Imo still this hand has a huge slam potential.If 5♠ shows both ♦ and ♥ control I would bid it, if it just asks for ♣ control I would rather let partner handle this - bid 5♦. 5♥ imo is not a possibility - you can not hide a control from partner in this situation.http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gifYu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'll be happy if 4♠ makes. I already made a free bid of 2♦. 3♠ I think would be forcing, so 4♠ looks more like to play with no slam interest. We may be playing with a 30 point deck, but we may also be playing with fire. Can we really read partner for a ♣ void? Pass, though I'm prepared to accept it's wrong... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahydra Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'll pass, expecting (most likely) 11 tricks. ahydra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJonson Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'd burn my boats and bid RKC, then 6 over 2 key cards and try for 7 over 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 If i was forced to choose between pass and bidding 7 ♠ i would definetely go with 7. I aint passing 4♠ with 2 bullets and xxx ♣, no way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
