Hanoi5 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 All white, teams: ♠AJx♥Tx♦Qxxxx♣KTx (Pa)-Pa-(3♣)-4♥(Pa)-??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 We have shortness in hearts, our long suit is headed by queen-empty, and we have KTx sitting under the club bidder, giving us effectively a flat 7 count. Why on earth would we bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerclee Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Not hard to see how slam could make but this is just not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 preempts work p has shown very good hearts and even though my douleton is nota detriment p was under some pressure after the 3c bid. It is entirelypossible that p has a ton of decent hearts and not much else andmaking any move past 4h is turning a postive into a negative. Therisk vs reward for moving beyond 4h seems unreasonable when looked at that way PASS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I like my hand. Slam could very well be cold on some layouts. But there is no way to know, and it is too dangerous to take any action other than pass. On a bad day, even 4♥ could fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
