serapuff Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Vul vs non vul, dealer You hold: ♠ Axx♥ AKQJxx♦ KT♣ Q9 Bidding goes 1H-X-3H-4S-? your bid 3H vul is a weak bid with 3-6 hcp and 4+ trumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endymion77 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Even if there's no spade loser, partner needs both the ♦Q and ♣K to get us to 11 tricks (strength is behind). But the trouble is we might not even beat 4♠. I think we need to try 5♥ at this vulnerability and it's not close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJNeill Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 5♥, this looks like an uncommon red vs white sac possibility. Slight chance they push to 5 at these colors, and then I'm happier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Imps or Mp's? I'll settle for (I hope) a 40% score right here rather than risk -500 at mp's but the upside of bouncing them to 5♠, a good -200 dive or a small loss of 2 or 3 is more attractive at imps.

RSClyde Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm not generally a 5 over 4 guy, but if it looks like either game has a chance of making (like here), bidding has multiple ways to be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
