chasetb Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 [hv=pc=n&s=s2hkt84djt5432ck5&w=sj986ha973dq976c2&n=sakqt754hjdakcaq9&e=s3hq652d8cjt87643&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=2dp6sppp]399|300[/hv]I don't know how to take a hand and just directly post it on here, so I recreated it from searching. You made a BAD 2♦ bid, partner bids to a 67.8% slam (+ extras if you happen to have the ♦Q or if an opponent has Qx and they don't lead a ♥ immediately), and you are complaining??? If you don't have ♣K, then you will have QJ of Diamonds, and GIB WILL make 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloa513 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 He does have point that GIB is too unilateral- South holding ♦QJxxxx and ♥K(x,xx) ♠x has a greater chance of making in diamonds rather than spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 If you don't have ♣K, then you will have QJ of Diamonds, and GIB WILL make 6. How will that happen, if GIB can't get to dummy to cash winning diamonds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgi Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Well, probably GIB-North could start with 2NT, asking for features, and (if) hearing 3♣ could gear up, while hearing 3♥ no matter if that's even Ace, slam seems lying on direct finesse in clubs with heart lead ( supposedly ) if spades are trumps. Probably with 3♥ (checking also aces via 4NT(♦) ) you would feel better in slam in diamonds as club finesse is important in both slams. For slam in diamonds you have extra chance with club lead and take with ace and keeping ♠AKQ as entry unless opener is void. With heart lead you depend on club finesse unless you have black singleton. With spade lead you would enjoy having ♥A. But very specific hand.

Siegmund Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I would be asking for the HA and going to either 6D or 7D, if I were north. Yeah, it goes down if opener doesn't have even the DQ and the suit breaks badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
