lycier Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I bid 1H since it is very harder to say whom final contract belong to . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMoe Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 1♥ followed by 4♥ shows my defensive values and suit length. The downside is this might get the opponents to a spade fit. That risk seems small as ♠ haven't shown up in the first 4 calls...so let's believe they ar 4-4-4-1 around the table... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 1♥ for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 1♥ because of the poor suit quality, with ♥AQJ I´d bid 4♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyGo Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I bid 1♥ because I doubt I can make 4 if partner can't support me somehow, and there's still a good chance I can buy the contract for less and get a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I bid 4 ♥, despite the fact that strength and suit quality screams 1 ♥. But after 1 ♥ they have much too much space to find out about the spade and club situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_20686 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I bid 4H. I don't feel like there are technical reasons for this bid, but its good to make opponents guess. South with five spades and a ten count may not want to risk bidding 4S, especially without diamond support. North with a minimum 4153 might not want to come back to the party opposite a passed hand. Lots of good things can happen when you make the opponents guess. Especially when the opponents have not yet discovered a fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
