TWO4BRIDGE Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 2D ... New suit by unpassed Advancer = forcing one round for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm not going crazy with this one. Partner has 3-4 hearts, at least 5+ spades, and could have a few clubs. 2♦ reserving my rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 we are 25% from making 7d opposite AJ9xx Axx xx xxxand yet if p has AKJ9x QJTx xx Ax we are only 50%to make 5d. We have little defense and there is no rationalmethod of discovering how good p hand is for slam. IMO our best bet is to make sure the opps cant steal thehand for anything less than 6c. If we now bid 5d P will have the option of x 6c (knowing we promised little/nodefense. Anything other than 5d takes a large position that pwill comprehend the length of our diamonds if we repeat them. Even if we have a spade fit (62) it is unlikely to do all that wellunless we were heading to making dia also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I like a simple 2D (NF) on these kinds of hands. Preempting does not help that much anymore (opener knows what responder has more or less and who cares what responder knows) so might as well try to find out something/try to buy the contract as low as possible. Maybe I'm biased from the small sample size but this approach has generally worked out for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMoe Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 2♦ F1R - not like 5♦ with 3 small ♥s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandakh Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 2♦ seems obvious regardless of how forcing it is. They found their fit and are much better defined than us so 5♦ is just giving us a bigger guess than they will have. We can still belong in any of 4 strains and defending the 5th doubled is also possible if they bid again and partner has the remaining clubs.

gwnn Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 2♦ seems obvious regardless of how forcing it is.Yes, I agree with this more than what I wrote. I strongly believe 2D should be nonforcing here but of course I would also bid it if it were forcing by agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Say it goes on: (1♣)-1♠-(2♣)-2♦(2♥)-2♠-(3♥)-??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Say it goes on: (1♣)-1♠-(2♣)-2♦(2♥)-2♠-(3♥)-??? Four Clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Seems kind of unrealistic, but I think I would continue ostensibly underbidding and bid 4♦. Next I will try 4♠ over 4♥ I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWO4BRIDGE Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Say it goes on: (1♣)-1♠-(2♣)-2♦(2♥)-2♠-(3♥)-??? 3S ... I'm not going crazy... The Diam suit may only produce 1 trick . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
