lesh Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I think partner's DBL mean: I would like to bid 4♠ but I have some defensive values, wheareas 4♠ would be with offence. So it is up to you to decide whether to play 4♥ or 4♠. I wouldn't expect 5044 hand in partner even though it is a possibility. Either Pass or 4♠ could turn to be right. No other options for me.

dake50 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I want a spade honour to bid on a doubleton here, so 4NT for me. -- FrancesHinden *** So you accept 5C on 3-4 fit, missing D:3-5? Or correcting to 5D missing C:4-4 this time?I would agree 4Nt if it was sure to find an 8-fit. But it is a level higher than 4S and no surety of a fit.

Yes I know what the risk of bidding 4NT is.The alternative of playing in 4S with xx opposite AKxxx x Kxxx Axx is also quite frightening.

JLOGIC Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yep, maybe that's one of the most attractive things about passing (both 4N and 4S risk getting to the wrong spot by a lot). I still wouldn't do it, but meh, nice problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfay Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Pass. I don't expect partner to be be bananas in this position: I'm a passed-hand and everyone's red. I'd be surprised (but not shocked) if they made this. The biggest downside I see is that maybe we miss our game and get only 200. Oh well, at least I'm not playing in a 4-3 fit (clubs) if bid 4NT and partner shows up with 5143 or 6133. Maybe we weren't going to get to that game anyway.

Free Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 4NT for me, 4♠ as a close second. I prefer to have a top honor ♠, but on the other hand you only need 10 tricks, so it's close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
