NickB50014 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 ♠Jx♥-♦AKQJ10xxx♣AKQ My partner opens 1♥ after a pass from the dealer. I said 4NT (is there a response I cant handle???) Partner responds 5♥, I promptly bid 7NT. Any complaints with the auction? (Of course 7NT is cold no matter what P drops as they promised 2 Aces since we were playing regular blackwood not RKCB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigpenz Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 You wrong-side no trumps when partner has Kxx AKJxx 9x Jxx.Probably no right siding it if they lead a minor suit card :huh: Ouch pitching AKQ♥ in dummy to come down to JX vs KX♠Now thats a night mare though you could just do it early on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 ♠Jx♥-♦AKQJ10xxx♣AKQ My partner opens 1♥ after a pass from the dealer. I said 4NT (is there a response I cant handle???) Yes, you can't handle a response of 1 keycard because you don't know which one partner holds. I'd just start with 2♦, bid 4♦ next (which is setting trumps for us) after which we'll start a cuebidding auction and I'll know if we can play 5♦, 6♦/NT or 7NT.
