TylerE Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 4♥ seems obvious at this juncture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 If your opponents are honest law abiding citizens, then, yes - 4♥ is fine. Partner should have the major suits and values. Slam is remote, as your opponents have values for their bidding. If you have any suspicions about your opponents, then it would be a good idea to show partner that you are bidding on values and not on distribution. The most obvious cue bid here is 2♣ - opener's suit. Spades could be misconstrued as natural as partner implied spades by his double. But any bid other than 4♥ could lead to trouble here. So the practical call is 4♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most obvious cue is DIAMONDS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerE Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Agree with Phil. Club bids should be natural, showing a good hand and clubs. Which isn't really a misdescription other than burying the ♥/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige1 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 [hv=pc=n&s=saqhk532da5cjt853&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=1cp1dd1s]133|200| I have a good hand. What do I bid? [/hv] IMO 2♦ = 10, 2♣ = 9, 4♥ = 8. Advance down the yellow-brick road with the the obvious bid :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Clubs is a cue bid with us but only by reason of discussion after a disaster. We may have slam here so 2♦ it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
