aguahombre Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 bid 2♠, and when they don't accept it, pass.Yes. I believe that is called the Alcatraz Coup, or a form of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampyr Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Yes. I believe that is called the Alcatraz Coup, or a form of it. The most popular form allows you to stop in 5NT after Blackwood -- bid 4NT again and correct it to 5NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lycier Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 pass is a reasonable option since this hand is suitable to defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 The most popular form allows you to stop in 5♣NT after GerberBlackwood -- bid 4♣NT again and correct it to 5♣NT.FYP - you have to find the right level of player for these types of coup!

rmnka447 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Pass -- not enough distribution to bid on, not enough defense to double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
