Cyberyeti Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 He can't have a trick, he can just about have: Q♣ which is as good as a tricka 53?? yarborougha 4?5? yarborough Of course xxxx, xxx, xxxx, xx is quite likely where 6♦ makes but 6♠ doesn't. 6♦ on a 4 card suit, rings a bell somewhere ...

Fluffy Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Going to the 5 level voluntary will guarantee 11 top tricks, all we need to do is to let partner know ♣K is another one. If we assume RHO has ♥A jumping to 5♥ if it is not exclusion should do the trick: 11 tricks, heart void, so ♣K must be one. Another option is to bid 4♥ + 5♥, which precludes heart void if we don't play exclusion, and is the way to suggest an invitational hand with one if we play exclusion. I'd bid this way with a non regular partner. Gambling on ♣Q or a good shape is another option, but I don't feel optimistic today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 The auction at one table went (4♥)-6♦. :( :angry: :blink: :ph34r: When asked to justify this brilliancy, the player concerned explained "I expected partner to have a lot of diamonds on the bidding."

mr1303 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Partner didn't have much, but he held a 5th diamond which was good for a 12th trick. They just overcalled 6S in the other room :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f0rdy Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 4♥ 6♠ AP at both tables for a flat board in our match... One auction had a much longer tank by responder considering 7♥, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
