Cyberyeti Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 We play a weak NT and would normally open 5M332 1N, but with a hand like this, I'll bid as if I have 6♥. 1♥-2♣(not GF)2♥-3♦3♥-4♠(KC)5♥(2 with)-5N (anything else)6♥(no) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Size and shape people might have an easy go. After Responder shows a club suit and gets into a quantitative NT sequence, opener will accept with her solid hearts and the Jack of clubs.

akhare Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Our auction: 1♥ - 2♣ (GF)2♦ (various hands) - 2♥ (ask)3♣ (5♥332) - 3♦ (ask)3N (5♥-3-3-2) At this point responder might just give up because opener's range is 10-13 and the hands don't seem to mesh well. If North upgrades and opens the hand with 1N (14 - 16), the response to the 2♠ size ask will be 2N, showing a minimum and responder will likely sign off in 3N as well.

eagles123 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 appreciate all these auctions but is W not gonna come in with a pre-emptive spade bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 appreciate all these auctions but is W not gonna come in with a pre-emptive spade bid?If he does, after the 2C response, it will probably help all the N/S pairs who were headed for a torturous auction. North could just rebid 2NT; then comes 4N and 6NT. Responder isn't asking how great the spade stopper is, so North shouldn't fret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 North could just rebid 2NT; If they rebid hearts due to the quality (at some point) or pass initially cause of the crappy hand outside of hearts I wouldn't blame them and you might be dead in the water.

MrAce Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 [hv=d=n&v=n&b=5&a=1hp2cp2hp2np3np4np6nppp]133|100[/hv] I don't think S should bid 3♦, a suit that his pd denied. 3NT shows a min hand by N 4NT invitation 6NT (or 6♥) is debatable but imo N has tricks to offer and should accept invitation after he tried to sign off in 3NT. EDIT: The auction i gave assumed the system is 2/1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on your system, if 2/1 not GF, 2N is NF so you perforce bid 3♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
