Mbodell Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 N/S play a strong club system so opening 1M bids are 10-15, opening 2M are 4-10 but usually 8 LTC - not 7.

Codo Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I dislike 3 ♦ because this will (and did) not work well over competion.I do not know whether 3 ♠ shows this hand over 3 ♥. With my partner I would surely expect a little more then just a solid suit. So maybe I should have voted here too.I really dislike 5 ♥. You need a heart singleton and the ace of diamonds besides solid spades- or solid spades and the ace of diamonds and the King of hearts... Maybe south thought that 3 ♠ promised such a hand. In that case I should not have voted for 5 ♥ but for 3 ♠. I like 6♠. Partner asked a quetion, I have an easy answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I don't understand 5♥, 5♠ is suposed to mean lack of heart control 5♥ should have heart control. Even then jumping to 5 is not really sound, lacking 4 keycards (♠K ♥AK ♦A) he is aiming for partner to have 3 of them wich means almost for sure no club wastage, a suit nobody has bid. Regarding north I don't have a clue of the differentces between 3♠, 4♠ and pass previous round, if in GF sequence I think 4♠ as fast arrival would had worked out very well, but that needs some agreements.

SteveMoe Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Agreeing Fluffy and Codo - adding:1♠-2♥-3♥-4♥Pass-Pass-4♠-All Pass 1♠-2♥-3♥-Pass3♠-Pass-4♠- All Passare ways to get there. The unfortunate truth: we need partner's ♥ control to be K, singleton or void, and not the ♥A. That means we're missing the ♦A. Ugh. The 5♥/♠ control ask doesn't make that distinction.

quiddity Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I like 6♠. Partner asked a quetion, I have an easy answer. What question did partner ask? I think he asked "do you have a good hand for your previous bidding?" and I think the easy answer is "no, I have a 10-count with no diamond help and no club control and no shortness".

Looking at the South hand, I guessed he asked for a heart control, nothing else makes sense- at least not to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAce Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Wrong Forum imo. I think this hand is tuffer than it looks it is. Perhaps you should have posted this in expert forums. I know experts can reply here as well, but you would definetely get more expert attention and replies there imo. In my prefered system, i think South should start with 4♦ over 2♥, showing 4 card spades and 5+ ♦ and at least game values. I am not sure if that would have kept us from being in slam though, i doubt it. Note that, in most expert pdships, if 3♥ cue is only limit or better, it doesn't even set a forcing pass incase East raises the bar before pd.
