bluecalm Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 If experts wish to use this forum to discuss how an expert should bid when playing this system, why shouldn't they? I believe they are hurting humanity by promoting it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogs Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Thank you!actually, ♠J9763♥KQ10♦7♣A863in the partner's hands. Isn't 3NT the best contract? 5♦ can lose a heart, diamond and a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurpoa Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I object to 3D. ♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurpoa Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Pass ♥ This is becoming fashion lately, to object someone else's reply and not answering the question that was asked by OP, or to object a previous bid and not answering the OP question ?????

awm Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I'm not sure there really should be/can be a hand that makes a non-forcing 3♦ rebid, then tries for slam when partner signs off in game. If your hand is that good, why did you not game force in the first place? Surely if you can make slam opposite some sign-off bid from partner, you also might make game opposite a hand partner would pass 3♦? I guess those who bid on think that 3♦ was a huge under-bid and therefore they need to "catch up" by taking another call. I agree that 3♦ was an under-bid... but I prefer to remain consistent with the previous evaluation and pass. We were a bit heavy for 3♦, but the club queen (for example) is not a huge asset for slam, and if we remove it I think 3♦ would be a normal call. Anyway, pass for me on the auction given.

Flem72 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) See the TBW debate in the -- 70s? -- between Norman Kay and Peter Pender rre: this standard-style 3m rebid conundrum. Lucky me, I can bid 2C forcing. EDIT: Yes (HT to Mr. Ace), return to OP: Must bid 4D now, esp. as P has not passed 3D. How many possible 9+ counts make slam? Couldn't s/he hold 12-13 gooduns? I hope we have ways to stop in 4N, and I hope 4H is RKCB. Edited August 18, 2012 by Flem72 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 OP did not ask if we agree or like the bidding so far In fact OP doesn't agree with himself, that's whyhe is thinking on taking another action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
