Cyberyeti Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 [hv=pc=n&s=st97ha9863da3cj32&n=sa2hkqj2d6cakq654]133|200[/hv] Pairs, NS vul E deals - E passes, S passes, W opens 1♠ over to you ... We bid this in fairly prosaic fashion to 7♥ for most of the matchpoints in a poor field (1♠)-x-3♥-4♠(KC)-5♦(2w/o)-7♥. There was a sequence we might have used and think we'd have got right at the table to 7N, but the question is how can N be sure his clubs cash. In this field you don't want to bid 7N opposite xx.

broze Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Some play 6♣ over 5♦ as asking for a ♣ doubleton/singleton/queen. After receiving a negative response you can go for 7NT, knowing partner has 3 small. Would make me chuckle at the table. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenvic Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Sadly no, 7♥ is the limit I'd be able to reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make me chuckle at the table. :)What we play is that 6♣ says basically I have the K or Q, have you got the other one. We reckoned using that, getting the inevitable negative 6♥ then bidding 7♥ anyway would suggest something like this going on, either AK 7th or AKQ 6th looking for 7N.

Zelandakh Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 As broze points out, the answer is to play SSAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also have ...6♣-6♥-6♠ and ...6♣-6♥-7♦. That should be enough room to cover all of AKJxxxx, AKQxxx and AKQxx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
