barsikb Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Starting with 1NT(S)-2D(W, Capp), how would you bid?

daveharty Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I would bid 5C. It might make, it might be a good save against the opponents' 4M, or both. I'm not going to give the opponents room to sort it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampyr Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 5C looks somewhat automatic. So the OP is probably more interested in how/if E/W get to 5 of a major after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 5 club is not automatic for N/Bs. It will be if they advance, but it is not. I must admit that I would not reach 5 ♥ with E/W over 5 ♣, I would play in 5 ♣ doubled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barsikb Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yes, I'd like to know how could E/W go to game if North came in with 5C? And if they went to 5H, what would North do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Simple rule - The 5 level belongs to the opponents. The 2D overcaller was green, unless you agreed to play 2D as always55, East knowes only about one sure 8 card fit, he is bal., i.e. Easthas no reason to bid on.If someone continues bidding it is West, who happens to be 65, hecould follow the old saying "65 come alive", show your suits, untilthey double you, he also knowes his honors are behind the strong hand, but I would not do it. I also see no reason why East / West should double 5C. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
