Cyberyeti Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I don't understand at what point we showed a game force balanced. I'm guessing 2♣ gf clubs or balanced was gf (clubs or balanced) rather than (gf clubs) or balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamford Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I presume ♠ KTxxx ♥ Jx ♦Kx ♣KQxx bids like my pard did as that is not total junk, so I am worth 4H. I agree with the eminent people on here that we then respect the 4S sign off. Even on that hand slam is not great. But add either legal jack and it is good.

lalldonn Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Is there some reason we couldn't have AQxxKQxxAJxxxPresumably the (natural) 2NT bid rather than a spade raise at that point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sathyab Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Presumably the (natural) 2NT bid rather than a spade raise at that point? Couldn't 2nt followed by 3♠ show Hx in case partner has six ♠. Upto the point that he bid 3♣ partner could easily be 6-4 in blacks, can't he ?

lalldonn Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Sure I mentioned that earlier in the thread, but then I answered based on the given explanations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Is there some reason we couldn't have AQxxKQxxAJxxx I don't know what bluecalm plays, but I imagine that he would bid 3S instead of 2NT if he wanted to show a spade raise with clubs. Note that 2NT was not alerted. AxxAKxxKJxxKx ? I'm missing your point, this is a balanced hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 slam looks poor opposite 5224 and 5134, even opposite diamond short I am worried about 4th round of clubs. I would cue just once more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
