dake50 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Can X be just "they ain't making"?It must suggest an up contract for us.5S is my best guess. Even consider 6C - pick a M-slam.I expect good Diamonds already bid 5D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I voted for pass but I think we should bid 5S. The big upside is that partner may bid 6. If partner was forced to pass then I think that we should pass instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yin970902 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 After double,I pass.5S maybe MK,but take a risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcphee Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 The double for me is a hand that wants to compete red/white facing a passed hand partner, so it is not shabby. With 2 control cards, which rate to be over RHO length in the majors, I have a great hand,slam is not out of the question. I think passing is soft and will choose 5S,6C may well be the home run. I see some upside to playing from the other side, but feel it may want to deliver a tad more. Partner is still there after 5S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 5♠. Just enough shape and just enough points in the right areas. I think we are making often enough to compensate for our lousy penalty against 5♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 This situation came up last thursday in the club except that your hand was a 5-1-6-1 and it was red/red. Pass turned out to be the winning action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalldonn Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I would bid 5♠ for sure. I only pull with something where I expect to make, so very roughly speaking it looks like a two level preempt (in this case a two-suited one).
