Fluffy Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Are you serious? south makes a limit bid, north makes a sing off, south then bids once more without any rights but then north bids even more!. This bidding makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 @ Fluffy - Normally after 1D 3D limit, North would look for 3NT. The fact that he didn't suggested extra shape and probably good trumps. Assuming opponents aren't lunatics, how many off do you think 5H is going to be? What bids would you make differently?

cherdano Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I don't understand 5♦. North makes a grand opposite a perfect subminimum. Why wouldn't he try at least for small slam?Is there no way he can show spade shortness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Yes, he could bid 4S. I don't know why he chose not to make that call - it would be the call I would've made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I don't like 3♦, but you normally don't have much shapy raises with both minors available so it cannot be blamed. 5♦ is by far the worst bid giving up a likely slam and a possible grand, Arend explained it pretty well. The next bids are inconsistent with previous ones, but it is because previous bids were bad (specially 5♦). Given this set of hands I would always want to play 7♦ over 6♥X wich will go 800 at most, and often only 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 All the blame goes to North's bad bidding here. (Well ok we can also blame West for holding the K♣ :ph34r: ) North has a 9 trick hand and has just received a limit raise from pd and all he can do is bid 5♦?!! Surely he should make a slam try. Then after not making a slam try, North commits to a grand on the next round! .. neilkaz .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
