Quantumcat Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Usually if you make a forcing invitation bid, then bid game anyway, then you were actually inviting to slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Usually if you make a forcing invitation bid, then bid game anyway, then you were actually inviting to slam.Do you think that was the case here, seeing the North hand and knowing that South had already limited himself to 15 total points?

Quantumcat Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 If you had the same hand but king of diamonds instead of king of clubs, and swapped ♥Q with the ♠K, wouldn't you have a pretty good shot at slam? That's a 12-count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
