cherdano Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I would certainly prefer to be in 6, since I don't see myself finding the spade fit :(Anyway, I think 6S is better than 7S, and it's not close. We need spades to be 3-2, and then either the ♣J coming down, or a not so likely squeeze (♥K and ♣Jxxx with East). In 7S by North you may get some help with the lead, but that's also unlikely.

lycier Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Always play in the safest contract at the slam level.As a final contract 6♠ is germane because we must guard against adverse distribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhm Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Any grand looks well against the odds. I do not seen what the attraction of notrump are here, particularly at IMPs.Even at matchpoints chances that you will end up making a trick more in spades look good.

Zelandakh Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I prefer play 6S than other contract,So bid it.OK, 1♣ = 15+ nat/bal or 18+ any... - 1♦ = most non-GF1♥ = 18-20 any or 23+ bal... - 1♠ = relay2NT = 23-24 bal... - 3♣ = Puppet Stayman3♠ = 5 spades... - 4♥ = agrees spades, SI4NT = accepts slam try, 1 or 4 key cards... - 5♣ = ♠Q?5NT = yes, and ♣K but no other side king... - 6♥ = SSA6♠ = no 3rd round control Perhaps this is not the auction you were thinking of though. How would you bid it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeegan Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 :P 6♠ for sure. Odds associated with a grand slam depend obviously on the percentage of the time you can make it, but also on the chances that (some of) the opponents will fail to bid the high percentage small slam. In this example, you may think that bidding six is easy, but your HCP total is (as I recall) 31. Even in a tough field, some are likely to lose their way. The percentage contract is 6♠.
