ArtK78 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Pass. Anything else is a pure guess (quite frankly, so is pass). But I would be surprised if 4♥ was not the best possible contract at this point. The only reason for bidding would be fear that the opponents can make a lot of a black suit.

mikeh Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 This is a wtp hand. Passing is so obvious that even thinking about another action is a gross error. This hand is so lacking in slam interest that I'd save if east-west backed into 4♠...and I'd save via 5♦ if east were to balance 4♠ since I want the lead against 5♠. Btw, bidding diamonds here is artificial....whatever usage you want, do NOT include 'natural' within it. I will gladly let you have 10 imps on every hand on which bidding a natural 5♦ works well opposite a favourable 1st seat 4♥ or 4♠ pre-empt by partner. Finally, I assume that bidding would have worked on this hand, else why would this be posted? was partner 0=8=4=1? I'll pay to that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 The only reason for bidding would be fear that the opponents can make a lot of a black suit.Or that he leads a diamond against 5♠ if he doesn't have A♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
